Crying once a week is great but as Charlie Chaplin said, a day without laughter is a day wasted, which I agree with. Happy I was able to help regardless.

Mission accomplished

Yes! You get it

What usually makes you cry?

I get that reaction and see how it could sound a bit Black Mirror ish. It's literally just art and curated audiovisual experiences designed to help you feel and process your emotions though.

We’re already living in a scifi dystopia where our emotions are constantly being manipulated by social media, algorithms, ads, etc. Feel is an attempt to offer an intentional alternative. It's not about manufacturing emotions. It's about moving through them more consciously with greater awareness and emotional intelligence.

I appreciate the comparison and feedback though. I welcome it all.

The only way out is through

I kinda love this comparison (even though I'm not trying to create emotional dystopia)

Of course they are!

This is just scientifically false. Emotions only last for 90 seconds and short-form content can indeed be beneficial. Studies show even a two minute experience can break the cycle of negative rumination.

It sounds like you need a good cry

Interesting. I'd be curious to know if crying helps it at all. It could be anxiety or stress related. Have you tried breathing exercises?

What did it say? I missed it and am so curious now

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for your appreciation for the site (except that one guy who hated it). Pretty awesome to see this little side project make it to the front page on here.

I'm working on a new project called Feel (https://www.feelapp.io) which is an app that helps you feel all emotions on demand. It goes beyond just crying and helps you navigate and shift your mood in real time. It can make you cry too though. Or feel joy, awe, confidence, serenity, or even process difficult emotions like anger or fear when you need to.

This isn't an ad or shameless plug I promise - I'm actually looking for a creative developer to join the team and help us take it to the next level. Please reach out if this resonates with you or share with your creative coder friends: johnny@feelapp.io

Join the waitlist! We're launching soon I promise

It's not a covert ad, that's just my new project

Thanks for crying

I've tried to make it so videos don't repeat but will look into that, thanks

I love getting comments like this

I'm actually making this: https://www.feelapp.io

Yes

I actually launched it like a year ago. I'm working on a new project now called Feel (https://www.feelapp.io) which I've grown to over 40k followers on IG and tiktok

All the videos are linked on vimeo which you can copy and share. But be sure to share the site as well :)

Interesting. I haven't heard of that before. The idea for the site was actually inspired by a Japanese researcher who teaches people how to cry once a week.

See you in court

That one hits hard. Thanks for visiting and crying.

So sorry to hear about your cat. Sending you strength through this difficult time.

Godspeed

Enjoy the day! Congrats

You can answer the questionnaire after the video that asks you if it made you cry or not.
