@cute_life, I'm really intrigued by the share functionality, can you explain how it works? Like, how might a couple use this collaboratively? Can a user be part of more than one 'family' at a time?
@eliservescent Hi! Yeah cool! The app is mainly a personal journalling tool... but we all like to share every now and again right? So the way it works is that you invite a friend to create a jar, then you ask to connect with it. Very similar to the original Google+ method. You had to know who they are.
You place any connections into a family [jar family] and share only with them. The idea is that we only really have a few friends and family members who can really act as our cheer leaders... so I created an app that is quite hard to share... but incredibly rewarding if you do... ;)
@cute_life @eliservescent I know a couple who keep a real jar in their kitchen, full of little slips of paper on which they've written sweet things to each other - mostly compliments, notes of appreciation, etc. They use it to help their rational, better selves step in when they're feeling frustrated with each other, and they say it stops a lot of their fights short.
I also think it would be an interesting way to work together in a classroom setting, for example, or for group therapy, or even for friends who are working toward a goal (e.g. training for a marathon) together to keep each other motivated, but obviously any of these scenarios depend on what the app can do.
@eliservescent Seriously cool idea! A few of our community have mentioned family jars in the past. A single jar they all can put into... maybe that's where this app should be taken?
@paul_s_kemp thanks so much Paul! It' just so amazing to think that I can now show it to the world the way I imagined it :)
Good day to you all from sunny St Albans, UK!
Thank you @VioletaNedkova !! It's such an honour to be featured on Product Hunt today :) I’ve been a big fan for a while now and my phone is jammed full of Product Hunted apps lol… I need a bigger phone memory!!
So thanks for checking out my app - HappiJar. I originally came up with the idea to help me learn to be more mindful and grateful. After doing TONNES of research, I eventually found that practice was the key component for us all. So HappiJar was designed to be incredibly sticky. Intentionally designed so each of you are taken on a journey when you to decide to save a smiley moment; by contextualising them using an artistic canvas [HappiButton], some meaningful text, a photo and/or music and sound. Those moments come together to form a digital button… which feel like they are real objects.
The app has been in beta for over a year LOL. Heard that plenty of times before? But this recent update [released late last night] is a HUGE step towards my original dream behind how the app should make you feel. So here I am presenting it to you incredibly discerning designers, makers, entrepreneurs and hunters.
This is a work in progress, and I’d love your creative feedback. Much Love.
@milann Heyyy Milan!! Thanks so much for the well wishes.... and yes... so many iterations. So much energy and time ;)
If I recall, the original design was almost going to be launched on a platform your were co-founding! Such a long time has passed!
Short Feedback: One picture (app screens) in your image-slider is very fragmented. Cheers and have fun with the hunters! :)
@akatona THANKYOU! I must have accidentally done that.... all fixed now ;)
@grahamhobson Thanks Graham, really appreciate the comments. Have a great weekend!
Great app, I will be using this to remember the good times, which I can then recall on a grim winters day.
@beamcalcs HAHA! There will be plenty of grim weather ;) All the best and thanks for giving us your Vote Kevin :)
I ADORE HappiJar and have been a regular user for quite a while now. It brings a ray of light to my day anytime I need one and is such a creative and easy way to see the many things I'm so very grateful for each and every day.
@happy_jars hiya Kat. It means a lot to hear that 😄 Now it's super charged with the massive new update. Really hoping it captures everyone's imagination.
@rpcreativeideas I'm so happi to be part of this great little app, thanks for all your great comments.
Happijar is my treasure of happy moments which I can just recall with a shake!! It's a great app which lets me log my happy moments and acts as a reminder on not-so-happy days. It has changed my life for the good!
I'm so glad it's been hunted! All the best Glen!!
@garshitag Thanks Garshita!! Hearing comments like that makes all this work worth while. Do you have any pointers for me at all? Feedback is the breakfast of champions ;)
@babettetenhaken Hi Babette! Thanks so much for the vote and the mention. It's amazing that you're getting some real day to day use out of HappiJar. Now with this new update we may even get more people talking about it... happidays!
