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.
Pleasse try it out here - https://trypraisejar.com/ and let me know what you think.
@jolaade_taiwo I first heard about Praise Jar after I came across your LinkedIn post (someone in my connections liked your post). I loved the idea and was waiting for it to be launched on Product Hunt. The product looks very impressive, and I will surely try it out. One question though: Can I share a praise jar with someone? You know, like customer testimonials
Really like this product! It is so warm! By the way I do think it is really helpful to be applied in a educational use case to provide peer feedback! Insightful!
This is awesome :) We were just talking as a team about how important positive feedback is. What a great way to ensure you never forget it!
This is such a wholesome idea! Big congratulations on the launch ⭐️
I love the playful website as well! Nicely done!
Praise Jar is a wonderful way to save and revisit positive feedback. Holding onto kind words and revisiting them anytime is so uplifting! 👏
Cool, I love the idea! And I say this from the perspective of a developer working on a somewhat similar product - I'm building an app that lets teammates say "thanks" easily by sending a pizza 🍕
It's a fun and simple way to encourage more frequent appreciation between colleagues. And now, looking at your concept, it feels like a perfect opportunity for collaboration - people could send kudos through my app and then collect them in your jar for future reference 😀
Oh, this is soadorable—love the doodles and the whole vibe! 🥹 Such a sweet way to keep those warm fuzzies from getting buried in the email abyss. Definitely stealing this for those days when I need a little "Hey, you're not totally failing at life" reminder. Congrats on the launch! 👏
This is such a heartfelt and thoughtful product! Praise Jar turns saving kind words and encouragement into something even more meaningful. Looking forward to seeing more people spread kindness with it.
I really love this product.
People easily forget what they really need to remember forever.
It's always important to remind that I'm being loved by someone, but it may sound awkward to do myself.
But now I can say I've recorded them cause there was a product called Praise jar!
Good luck :)
Really impressed by how you have turned a simple habit into a powerful wellness tool. Collections and Analytics are a nice touch! Out of curiosity, do you see this being used more for personal growth, or as a team-building tool in organizations? (or both, perhaps?)
