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!
@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?
Glen - you've been working hard on this app to help bring happiness and gratefulness to people. Congratulations on being hunted today - it's totally deserved.
This is perfect for being grateful. Just save up some good memories and revisit them later. Can you image having a treasure chest, sorry jar, of those?! Priceless.
@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.
