I added mine but can't keep track of it. If anyone sees 1 about office hygiene and taking a dump, please share the URL, as I think it is quite valid and would like to track its progress.

Here you go - http://wfh.ninja/?quoteId=150 :)

i kept clicking and clicking, where's the payoff? it'd be nice to have a button to see a chart of most popular, least popular, etc

fwiw, i just added a badge next to each quote to show the points... hope to build a summary page soon :)

i like it. simple and effective.

you're a superstar!

Edit: Looks like I'm down to -1 now. I think either bots are randomly pressing buttons, your voting is rigged (or ran()dom) or my suggestion just sucked :)

Nice work building it though.

I did notice a few ips voting excessively. I don't think they are bots, probably just trolls. I should implement ip limits.

I had too much faith in the Internet - Evidently I'm wrong :p

This has to be the simplest React app I've seen yet :) (not having a go - just made me chuckle!)

:) i had fun building it! slightly off tangent though, building it via flask backend was a pain. on hindsight, i'd probably have used node instead.

Why was it a pain?

I know a rhetorics teacher at my uni who will marvel at this idea! Seriously, for practical rhetoric teachers this site will provide a good segway into the rhetorics of excuses and to a lesser extent ethics.

i actually noticed a lot of people downvoting "excuses" and decided to switch the positions of the vote up and down buttons. Previously, the vote up was on the left and down on the right. I'm curious to see if the votes will now swing the other way ;)

Probably not. I have "downvoted" bunch of them to just see the next one, until I realized that I'm really downvoting them.

I did the exact same thing...Now I feel bad because I down voted some awesome ones.
