Winnie (website)


Winnie helps parents find information about kid-friendly places to go with their families as well as general parenting topics. It contains metadata about places like whether there is a changing table in the restroom, a kids menu, or a good place to nurse a baby and also reviews from parents who have been to those places. Parents also use Winnie to ask questions and share their experiences. It is backed by a blend of automated data collection, curation, and crowdsourcing.
