Midnight. Blank screen. One question:
What if being a good human felt as satisfying as leveling up in a game?
The problem nobody talks about
Think about the last kind thing you did.
Maybe you held a door. Bought a coffee for the person behind you. Helped a stranger find their way in the rain.
You did it. Life moved on. You never found out what happened next.
Nobody told you that the stranger you helped find the bus stop made it home in time to put his daughter to bed — the first time in three weeks. Nobody told you that the woman whose coffee you paid for had been having the worst morning of her month, and that one small thing cracked her open in the best way.
The ripple of your kindness went invisible. And slowly, without anyone meaning for it to happen - you stopped feeling like your small acts mattered.
This is the problem I wanted to solve.
What Good Deed Board actually does
You log something kind you actually did today. The app writes you a ripple story — warm, specific, cinematic - of what might have happened next.
I tried it with: "I helped a grandma cross the road."
"She'd been putting off that errand for three days — her knees were bad and the traffic frightened her. The moment you offered your arm, she felt the world was still kind. She called her granddaughter that evening. Told her the story. Her granddaughter said - 'See gran, people are good.' She'd needed to hear that too."
I sat with that for a long time.✨
You also earn badges — "Quiet Force," "Ripple Starter," "The Invisible Hand." Your deed pulses green on a live 3D globe. Your city scores points. Mumbai vs London vs Bangalore — competing in kindness.
There's even a kindness garden on your profile that grows from a seedling to a full tree as you log more deeds. One of my favourite things I've ever built.
Why it matters
The world isn't short of good people. It's short of good people who feel like their goodness matters.
Good Deed Board shows people the ripple. TThe stories are imagined — but imagined with care, because the point is not to tell you exactly what happened. The point is to remind you that something happened. That your act went somewhere. That the world is different, by some small amount, because you were in it today.
What's next
This is the beginning, not the end. I want deed verification, school and workplace challenges, a weekly global impact report. But more than features — I want reach. A student in Bengaluru,India logging a deed at the same moment as a teacher in São Paulo and a nurse in Lagos.
I want the globe so full of green pulses you can barely see the darkness underneath🌱.
Try it. Log a deed. Share your card.
Not because it helps me — because it might remind you that what you did today mattered. Because the ripple story might make you sit back in your chair the same way it made me sit back in mine.
And if it moves you even a little — send it to someone who needs the reminder.
The world is already full of good people doing quiet things. This is where they leave their mark.
