Creating the original upvote (and downvote)

I shared this story on stage at Web Summit and thought I'd share the screenshot of the original upvote (and downvote). You see, before I designed the now ubiquitous upvote ⬆️ and downvote ⬇️ arrows, we started with "interesting" and "boring."

Thanks again for a wonderful time, Libson!
