Gentle

A social app for compassion

Gentle launched on April 20, 2020 with 1 votes. The site was still online in September 2026, 6 years on.

What it does

Gentle is an app where you write requests about your worries and get (gentle) replies back from strangers. It’s cute, anonymous, and moderated.

Give and get kindness. A social app where you send and receive messages of compassion.

A social app to send and receive messages of compassion. Anonymous and safe. The source code and master design file are now freely available. Learn more in this post ! It’s tempting to think Gentle is about solving your deepest problems, but that’s not the goal. One of the expectations you agree to when you start is “I recognize I can’t fix others’ problems, but I can share kindness.” If there is a “goal” in this app, it's to take the reflection and empathy it encourages into other parts of your life. It's important to note that Gentle is not a replacement for counseling. If anything, I hope it will encourage people to seek out professional support when it's helpful. Absolutely, yes!

  • https://github.com/OlexG/finclaw ^ repo if anyone wants to contribute. I realized that sometimes I'm pretty good at making random guesses about the future. (I.E, I think OpenAI will beat Anthropic in the short term, etc...) However, I'm bad at converting these guesses into actual market plays I can profit from. As such, I wanted to make a tool that connects to the right APIs and launches a swarm of agent experts to generate related plays based on your prediction. The very first super shitty V0 MPV just has Polymarket/Kalshi bets, but I will be adding a more complex…
