What tech stack did you use?

Hi! I made it by mostly using no-code tools. It’s built using Wordpress. I used the plugins WP User Frontend Pro and Advanced Custom Fields Pro.

I am grateful for all the tools available to create quick websites :)

One recurring theme: people grateful to wake up for another day. Definitely something I take for granted. It’s good to be reminded each day is a gift.

"Is the cup half empty or half full?" "Be happy you have a cup!"

I never thought of it that way. Thanks for sharing!

One recurring theme: people grateful to wake up for another day. Definitely something I take for granted. It’s good to be reminded each day is a gift.

The real recurring theme is that "I", "me", or "my" ends up appearing a minimum of one time per person and day.

After decades of severe depression, it isn't entirely surprising to me that there must be an "I" to experience positive things in order for gratitude to give a lasting impact to the mood.

"I'm grateful for people who remove landmines, for talented artists creating beauty in the world, for little caring gestures that strangers have for each other." But this reads more abstractly than when there's a person to actually experience its consequences directly, and it feels very different from the inside too as it holds little connection to the self.

It's a good habit nonetheless, because if anything it is a mechanical workout to cultivate a capacity for empathy (for self in healthier people perhaps, but in general otherwise).

You make a good point! Being grateful for things that, as you put it, hold little connection to us surely helps because it makes us better people. Thanks for sharing!

I don’t want to read what other people are grateful for because it just reminds me that the things I’m missing are actually important. A piece of paper and a pen works better.

I understand, the goal isn’t to compare yourself with others but to encourage each other. Thanks for sharing!
