# Gentle

![Gentle Work in Progress Banner](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10323195/81870666-30052f80-952b-11ea-83fd-e00abde068a7.png)

👋 Heyo! [**Gentle**](https://gentle.app/) 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](https://andrewlee.design/)'s) solo project for three months in early 2020.

The app [shutdown in May 2020](https://gentle.app/shutdown), 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.

## About _Gentle_'s Brand

While Gentle's design and code are now publicly available, I am unlikely to transfer the [gentle.app](https://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.

## Need help?

I am no longer actively supporting Gentle.

You are welcome to reach me at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]), but I may be slow to respond and/or decline your request.
