Because kind words shouldn't get lost in your inbox. Whether it came from a friend, a colleague, a client or your manager — someone saw you, and said something kind. Praise Jar helps you hold onto that moment and come back to it anytime you need.
I kept a folder of kind/good feedback for years — then built an app for it
Over the past few years, I started saving screenshots of kind messages people sent me. Slack threads. Texts. Little moments of feedback or encouragement I didn’t want to lose.
Somewhere along the way, that messy folder on my phone became something I quietly relied on, especially during harder weeks. So I decided to build something around it.
It’s called Praise Jar - a small web app where you can save the kind words you’ve received, or send praise to someone else. You can even attach playful doodle characters to bring the words to life in a more human way.
I built it using Cursor, with help from ChatGPT and Google’s ImageFX for the doodles. Still figuring it all out but I’m glad I made it.
