About BestIn
Live, community-ranked answers to “what’s the best … in this city?”, instead of an old thread you have to scroll through.
How it works
Someone asks for the best of something in a city: a burger, a pint, a quiet café to work from. People answer with a pick and a line on why it’s the one. Votes move the best answers to the top, so the top answer is always the current best, and it keeps changing as places open, close and get better or worse.
Anyone can ask, whether you live there or you’re visiting. Answers mostly come from locals, but anyone who has been counts.
How the ranking works
- Answers are ranked by net votes (upvotes minus downvotes).
- One vote per person per answer. You can change or take back your vote.
- Your own answers and comments start with your upvote. You can take it back, but you can’t downvote your own. Each place can only be answered once per question, so votes aren’t split.
- Nobody can pay to be ranked higher. There are no sponsored answers.
Where the answers come from
Every answer and every vote here comes from people who use BestIn. Nothing is scraped or copied from other sites, and nobody’s starting score is borrowed from somewhere else.
New towns and cities
BestIn launches a town or city once there are locals ready to answer questions about it. If yours isn’t here yet, request it. Everyone who votes for it is notified when it launches.
Who runs it
BestIn is run by Donal O’Connor. For corrections, questions or anything else, email hello@askbestin.com.
