Hello,
I been working on this website/app these last few years, basically trying to show that there are a lot of very hard working people trying to make the world a better place and the news you choose to focus on has a big impact on your mood/life so try to not get too absorbed into the negative sensationalized media. My website/app offers an alternative way to stay informed. Would love to hear feedback on potential improvements.
Sincerely, Happy Daze
Nice! Maybe add a button to the RSS feed. Saves a few clicks ;)
Good idea! Happydaze.io/rss is the rss link a button on the main site would be nice.
Does it have an RSS feed? I’d love to have it in my regular news app.
Either way, very cool. Good job!
Thanks and yes it does: happydaze.io/rss
This is a great idea! Everything is so depressing nowadays.
Im glad you like it!
Excellent idea. Thanks for sharing/ making this
You are welcome :)
Thank you for your work!. We really need initiatives like these in these grim times.
You are welcome 👍
What days is it available?
I try to post three times a week its not super consistent on which day of the week it ends up being, working towards posting once a day but im also limited by the pace of research and science etc…
Great. More miracle cures and “breakthroughs” that we’ll never see.
Science is slow, but I think you might be surprised some of these studies are really promising and pretty far along. For example we are finally seeing products with solid state batteries hit the market, graphene is being produced at a much more efficient rate, 3d printing and advanced material engineering is taking a leap and not to mention ai. The world is bright and brimming full of people trying their best to create a better future.
Hell yes! We need more positive news! Good stuff!
thank you
While that is very cool and I totally love the idea, it is important not to overdose on hopium and I hope it doesn’t become like similar reddit communities that tend to devolve into perseverence porn or the depressing trend of people thinking we can just invent our way out of this self made apocalypse and the intrinsically relevant reverence for some tech billionaires or entrepreneurial solutions to problems inherent to capitalism. We absolutely do need to acknowledge how fucked everything is and let that motivate us to also try to improve things.
I understand where you are coming from and your concerns are valid. I designed this not as a replacement for your typical news but a temporary respite from the doom and gloom… A place where you can be in a Happy Daze if you will.
In that case I appreciate what you are going for, and a nice complimentary community can be found over at hexbear.net/c/bloomer though you might occasionally find posts celebrating for example a billionaire getting imploded in their vanity submarine.

You could open a Lemmy community to post there too.
