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!
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!
