Good Deeds is an extension of Warmth that lets a family notice kindness quietly, without turning it into a contest. Recognition flows toward the person who received care, never toward a child performing virtue for points. Warmth is peer-given and non-spendable, so you can thank someone for a kindness but you can't broadcast your own.
A good deed can be logged quietly, even anonymously: the act is celebrated while the doer is never ranked. There is no good-deed-of-the-week feed, no kindness leaderboard, and no streak that makes a kid feel guilty for a gentle week. When kindness sparks more kindness, ConKarma shows it as an aggregate reach, such as how many homes a chain reached, rather than a per-child tally.
Recognition flows in, never out
Warmth is peer-given, non-spendable, and never a leaderboard. You can thank someone for a kindness; you can't broadcast your own. Gratitude arrives at the person who was kind — it isn't a trophy they hold up. The feeling we're after is 'someone noticed, and was grateful', not 'I'm winning at being good'.
Quiet, even anonymous, by default
A good deed can be logged quietly — even anonymously. The act is celebrated; the doer is never ranked. There's no good-deed-of-the-week child feed, no kindness leaderboard, and no streak that makes a kid feel guilty for a gentle week. Kindness under a scoreboard stops being kindness.
Pay-it-forward, shown as reach not score
When kindness sparks more kindness, we show it as an aggregate — 'this chain reached N homes' — never as a per-child tally. The story is the ripple, not the individual. A child sees that what they did travelled, without ever being told where they rank for doing it.
Why there are no kindness badges
We deliberately don't ship clout challenges, kindness badges-as-status, or performative-virtue mechanics. Rank kindness and you get performance; remove the rank and you get the real thing. Anti-performative-virtue isn't a side effect here — it's the headline.
How it feels in the app
Three small moves, all pointed the same way:
- Someone in your cell does something kind — or you notice that they did.
- You send warmth toward them, quietly; it lands as gratitude received, not a public point.
- If it sparks more kindness, the chain shows as collective reach across homes — never a ranking of who did most.
Frequently asked questions
Does ConKarma rank kids on their good deeds?
No. There is no kindness leaderboard, no good-deed-of-the-week feed, and no streak. The act is celebrated while the doer is never ranked, because ranking kindness turns it into performance.
Can a good deed be logged anonymously?
Yes. A good deed can be logged quietly, even anonymously. Gratitude arrives at the person who was kind rather than being a trophy the doer holds up.
How does pay-it-forward work without a points tally?
When kindness sparks more kindness, ConKarma shows it as an aggregate reach, such as how many homes a chain reached, never as a per-child score. A child sees that what they did travelled, without being told where they rank.
