Can't agree more! There are only 3 of us, and we have so much to do, resources like material design really help us speed up the design & dev process.

Hi, designer/cofounder of Elpha here. Thank you for the comment! It is tricky to design a UGC site for women, and we aim for friendliness/neutral than feminine. Glad you like Chiswick!

Thank you! And yes, many of our members are based outside of the US, and we'd love to have more international members to broaden the perspective and discussion topics. And we're a for-profit company. :)
