Very nicely designed, but it needs an About section :)

Site seems to be down now; just displaying "error".

From the instructions / about section:

what is this? sometimes we get carried away with the big 'important' things in life and forget how many happy minutes and seconds we have had.

this is your happiness jar. use it to keep track of every bubble bath you take, every puppy you pet. use it to retrieve sweetness when you're a bit sour.

give us your phone number and we'll store every text you send us in your jar. give us your email address and at the end of the year happy memories will fill your inbox.

This is an awesome concept, but I believe the time of the jar's release should be tweakable. For instance, once every 6 months or once every 3 months, or so.

Also consider adding a way to send it texts without a phone... not everyone lives in the US.

I'd like it to send me a random item from the jar everyday. A daily reminder of the awesome stuff that my life is filled with.

Server down :(. Working on it.

Sorry guys, my free ec2 micro has too little RAM to deal with the load :(. For those who already signed up, it'll be up again tonight.

Rendering is a little funky in Firefox 17.0.1, Win7.

Looks like the fonts weren't loaded or some other component. The server seems be quite overloaded right now.

site giving an error.

idlecool• 14 years ago

the page shows "error".

rdtsc• 14 years ago

Now the page says:

> error

Somehow that also makes sense

Would be nice to change the timezone.
