You Were Awesome
No app. No account. No agenda.
Just a small card, a kind thought, and a map that shows where kindness travels.
What is this?
You Were Awesome is a kindness project. Someone thought you were awesome and gave you a card to prove it. Scan it here and it joins a map of kind moments from around the world.
Do I need to download an app?
Nope. This website works on any phone, tablet, or computer. No app store, no download, nothing to install.
Do I need to create an account?
No. No sign-up, no email address, no password. Scan your card and you're done.
Is there an agenda here?
No. We're not selling anything, there are no ads, and we're not collecting your data. This project exists for one reason: to spread a little kindness and see how far it travels.
Who gave me this card?
Someone who thought you were awesome. That's all you get, and honestly that's the best part.
What information do I need to scan my card?
Just your card number and roughly where you are. That's it.
What happens after I scan it?
Your card appears on the map as part of its journey. If the card was scanned before you, you can see where it's been. If you're the first, you're starting the story.
Can I get cards to give out?
Yes. Sign up at youwereawesome.com and we will get in touch and ship you some cards. For free.
Is this free?
Always. Free to scan, free to give, free to follow the journey.
Who made this?
A small team who believes the world has more awesome people in it than we sometimes remember. This project is our way of proving it, one card at a time.
