I want this in literally every other emotion, except for anger, because there's already a site for that called reddit.com

I'm actually making this: https://www.feelapp.io

IT here. I don't need a website; I have users.

this is a you problem. Worked in IT over 20 years, never been angry. Perhaps you should change careers.

I was like this website isn't going to make me cry. Then it shoves a knife through my heart with a montage of that dog movie. Well done.

I love getting comments like this

Great idea. To reduce the likelihood of repeat draws, maybe you could check out decay weighting.

I've tried to make it so videos don't repeat but will look into that, thanks

Is that what they mean by cryotherapy? ;) Anyway, this seems to be a covert ad for https://www.feelapp.io/ .

It's not a covert ad, that's just my new project

It's how funnels should work. Show a sample and if people want more, they can go to https://www.feelapp.io/ Sadly, they have a waitlist, so I'll just come by on the next funnel.

Join the waitlist! We're launching soon I promise

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for your appreciation for the site (except that one guy who hated it). Pretty awesome to see this little side project make it to the front page on here.

I'm working on a new project called Feel (https://www.feelapp.io) which is an app that helps you feel all emotions on demand. It goes beyond just crying and helps you navigate and shift your mood in real time. It can make you cry too though. Or feel joy, awe, confidence, serenity, or even process difficult emotions like anger or fear when you need to.

This isn't an ad or shameless plug I promise - I'm actually looking for a creative developer to join the team and help us take it to the next level. Please reach out if this resonates with you or share with your creative coder friends: johnny@feelapp.io
