Public kindness

Leave one encouraging note in public

One kind note left on a board or tucked in a library book.

What this is for: A small lift for whoever finds it next
What the person actually does: Write or print one short, kind note and leave it where a stranger will find it: a community board, a library book, or a noticeboard where notes are welcome.; About 10 minutes of real work. Delivers 1 kind note left.
Proof they have to send (photo): No identifiable faces. Photograph the place, items, or result, never a person. If a bystander is in frame, reframe or blur. Never depict anyone who appears vulnerable (e.g. unhoused, distressed, or a child).
Photograph the note where you left it.
Show the note and the spot, never a person reading it.

What we tell the person doing it

The doer can ask anything in the app and gets an instant answer from the deed itself. A few they ask most:

What photo proof do you need?: Send photo of the result. Rules: No identifiable faces. Photograph the place, items, or result, never a person. If a bystander is in frame, reframe or blur. Never depict anyone who appears vulnerable (e.g. unhoused, distressed, or a child). Photograph the note where you left it. Show the note and the spot, never a person reading it.
How much do I get paid?: This deed pays $8 for your time (a fair ~$18/hr for about 25 minutes including travel and proof), and $2 is set aside for any supplies plus fees. Payment releases from escrow once your proof passes review.
Do I need to keep people out of frame?: No identifiable people, ever. Photograph the place, the items, or the result. If someone is in frame, reframe or blur before you send it.
