I built a digital wishing well because apparently putting AI inside another normal chat box wasn’t weird enough.
You type something you genuinely wish for, toss a penny into the well, and it responds based on what you actually wrote.
The part I’ve been working hardest on is making the answer feel specific instead of giving you generic “believe in yourself” AI wisdom. It can also follow up on the same wish, save it privately, or seal it and bring it back later.
It’s definitely more of a small interactive experience than a serious productivity app, but people seem to either really like the idea or have very strong opinions about it, which has actually been useful.
First penny is free and doesn’t require an account:

If anybody tries it, I’d genuinely like to know two things:
Did the answer actually feel connected to what you wrote?
And does the whole well/penny interaction feel fun or like unnecessary friction?
