Shoutouts App 1.0

Shoutouts App is a platform designed for fostering compassion towards oneself and others. It offers a variety of self-compassion prompts, proven to reduce stress and counteract its negative impacts. These prompts aim to shift self-criticism towards understanding and compassion. Upon logging in, users will encounter these prompts, with responses being revisited between three to seven days later. Many prompts encourage contemplating the future, providing insight into past responses projected forward. Users can access all previous responses in the Past Shoutouts section.

Another notable aspect of Shoutouts App is the promotion of kindness among peers. Through the Communities feature, users can celebrate the accomplishments and positive attributes of friends, camp mates, or coworkers by sharing uplifting messages within their chosen community. Scientific research on stress further suggests that assisting others is linked to mitigating stress and its consequences.
