I like the idea of this, but frankly the necessity of a login is too big of a barrier for me.

I've never understood dedicating a whole darn website to such simple concepts. Perhaps that's why I'm not rich.

It's three things! Just write them down somewhere. Heck, put them in a text file and check it into git.

I ran into a similar mindset with someone asking about BMI on another forum I frequent and someone suggested a website. It's two math operations! Just open the calculator on your phone (yes, even flip phones have one), or on the computer you're reading this on.

ETA: For those wondering, here's the three things as I heard them:

  1. Something that made you smile or happy:
  2. Something you are grateful for:
  3. Something you did well:

I guess part of my idea was to build a community committed to practicing gratitude. Yes, it's perfectly simple to do it on your own. But you'd be doing it on your own. :) Thanks for sharing!

FWIW I like this idea - seeing other peoples’ gratitude serves as a good reminder for the things I should be grateful for in my own life. Lovely app!

[crystalcamarao]

Yes it is a good reminder, isn't it. Thanks for sharing!

Yes you can put it on wall. But just look at that things listed by other. Even reading them made me feel good. Made me realize some things I take for granted. It's nice and simple project.

Glad it makes you feel good. Thanks for sharing!

Thinking about this more... the barrier is big for me because this type of social sharing i dont find value in. for those that do, i suspect that enabling them to share on platforms that are more popular could be useful.

Or, is there value in aggregating things that people say to help those who are struggling to find a reason to be grateful. .. turn that into a weekly trend line. are people more grateful for their health during a pandemic? are people more grateful for their spouse in the summer? that sort of stuff could be interesting.

[crystalcamarao]

That makes sense. Social sharing is enabled at the single post page level.

As for the trends idea, that sounds brilliant. Will consider it for the future. Thanks for sharing!

I understand, I was thinking of adding guest/anonymous posting too. Thanks for sharing!

[micdr0p]

ditto

[crystalcamarao]

I see it is a common opinion. Will definitely look into adding guest posting, thanks for sharing!
