Maybe you realize this, but you just described score voting. Check the links I posted above. Welcome to the fan club!
(If you're not familiar, approval voting is a special case of score voting where you are giving either a 0 or 1 to each candidate; in other words the range is binary. It's not quite as expressive for voters as score voting, but still a huge improvement over what we use now and pretty low on "voter regret" since it avoids having to vote strategically. And it's arguably easier to use and understand than score voting. I would be so happy with either score or approval.)
