👋 Heyo! Gentle is a mobile app where you write requests for kindness and reply to others. It's cute, anonymous, and moderated. It was my (Andrew Lee's) solo project for three months in early 2020.
The app shutdown in May 2020, and I decided to release everything. All code is available under an MIT license. You are welcome to fork it, remix it, take its parts, etc.

- 💬 Read my article about designing Gentle (includes metrics, motivation, design principles, etc.)

- 🛣 View the Trello board roadmap for Gentle (you can get a sense for where Gentle was going)

Each folder has its own README with relevant information.
While Gentle's design and code are now publicly available, I am unlikely to transfer the gentle.app domain name or endorse any product claiming to be "Gentle".
You are welcome to reuse any of this code, but I recommend you choose a different product name to differentiate yourself. Not a requirement by any means, but it's probably a good move to set expectations of new ownership.
I am no longer actively supporting Gentle.
You are welcome to reach me at [email protected], but I may be slow to respond and/or decline your request.
Wishing you good times ✨
