Hey Product Hunt 👋
It started as a joke: I gave out “Touched Grass” badges to random people on X when they actually went outside 🌱
People loved it, so I turned it into a tiny tool!
You can create and share badges for things like:
- touching grass 🌿
- shipping 🚀
- marketing 📣
- hiking 🥾
or basically any activity you want
Each badge comes with a shareable link with a nice social preview, so it looks great on X, Slack, Discord, or anywhere else.
Have fun!
and go touch some grass 😉
If people like this, maybe there’s a real underlying need here? Maybe many IT specialists forget or are too lazy to just go for a walk and have completely disconnected from real life. I just realized that for the past week I’ve only gone outside to the store, and even that just to walk there instead of ordering delivery.
What if you create a motivation app that generates small “tasks” for you, like “go outside and touch some grass.” You go and mark it as completed, automatically get a badge for the achievement. You could use AI to recognize the surrounding environment and personalize tasks: for those who live by the sea — go for a swim, for those in the forest — take a walk in the woods. Task difficulty could range from 1 minute to several days and gradually increase, drawing the user in. Kind of a subtle motivator for a healthier and happier life.
I love your website design! Hope Touched Grass could make more people feel touched!
Lol, this is so simple but I love it. I feel like there's a lot more that can be done here. Like a "feed of grass" etc. Simple concept but awesome job brining it to life @builditn0w!
Love how this went from a joke to a delightful little social ritual — “Touched Grass” badges feel oddly motivating in a fun, non-serious way. The shareable previews make it perfect for X and Slack. Curious: have you noticed any unexpected use cases so far beyond the original “touch grass” idea?
Today I touched the "Upvote" button at 255 points 😉
Such a playful idea. Good job, Lars!
Wow, I love this! The badge idea is so fun and a great way to celebrate small wins. How customizable are the badges, could I add my company logo?
I’m I right in thinking that there’s actually a fair bit of deliberate positivity to put into it?! It’s very mental health positive rather than just a bit of a giggle. It’s smart
lol this is dumb in the best way. perfect for our Slack: "touched grass", "shipped", "drank water". the social preview looks clean. tossing a couple into the group chat. brb, actually going outside.
