I like the idea of this, but frankly the necessity of a login is too big of a barrier for me.
I understand, I was thinking of adding guest/anonymous posting too. Thanks for sharing!

#22I the only one who feels worse than before, it like all shit, sometimes life is shit. I'm not Cristian but I feel this frace encapusale my feelings Mark 9:24"I do believe; help my unbelief!"
Sorry to hear you feel that way. :(

#23I 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 think you'd find that a slight shift in perspective on this will do wonders. Try imagining that the person posting is your best friend on a good day. Or your mom. Or your dog. Or anyone/thing else you unconditionally hope receives good things in life. That might turn some of them into boosts to your happiness (I want good things for person x: imagine good things happening to person x = good thing for me).

That’s a great perspective to have! Thanks for sharing!

Seems like the site is an outlet for gratitude. So many people are practicing gratitude there!
Don’t doomscroll through their gratitudes if that’s distracting for you, and if pen and paper works better for you then that’s amazing!
Goal is to just be grateful :)

Yes that makes sense. Thanks for sharing!

#27Hey neat! I actually made something very similar but as a Chrome extension [1].
The issue I saw with doing this as a web app is there's nothing in a web app to actually force you to do the logging. You have to remember to do it which I didn't like.

Yes that makes sense, my workaround with that was a daily reminder email. I’ll have to test if it works though. Thanks for sharing! Your app seems awesome!

#29One 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.
Cotton sheets help to remind me. I don't know what people slept on in history (tho I hear that heather was good) but clean sheets and cotton pyjamas are fantastic.
