Only press if you believe a human should decide. Most products optimize for engagement, efficiency, or outcomes. This one doesn’t. It consists of a single button whose only function is to record that a human chose to press it. There are no accounts, rewards, or actions beyond that. A short daily observation is shown to reflect how the button is being used. This project exists to prove that a single human action still matters, even when it does nothing.
@kilpatrick Great question. yes, that’s the idea.
It’s not a complaint platform or escalation channel. It’s a public, anonymous signal.
If you experience a situation where you believe a human should have made the decision, you can record that moment by pressing the button.
The goal is to surface patterns around where people feel human judgment still matters.
@kilpatrick That’s a thoughtful comparison and yes, aggregation is definitely part of the vision.
Users can already select a category when they press the button (money, health, work, etc.), which allows patterns to emerge across domains.
There’s also a public read-only API that aggregates presses over time so anyone can analyze trends (by category, timestamp, frequency) without accessing personal data. The idea is to make the signal observable and measurable while keeping it anonymous and non-targeted.
For now, I’m intentionally avoiding company-level tagging. I want this to remain a calm indicator of where people feel human judgment matters not a "complaints directory".
If adoption grows, there could be more structured aggregation around process types but always without turning it into a name-and-shame platform.
Hello,
One thing I want to clarify: this isn’t meant to be anti-automation.
I use automated systems every day, and most of the time they work well. This is more about the edge cases. The moments where a decision feels final and there’s no visible path back to human judgment.
The button doesn’t solve that. It just records that someone felt that boundary.

I would wish there should be an edit button for a created text (I messed up my English grammar) :D
Thank you @busmark_w_nika for this feedback. Although the "context" is fully anonymos. Do you think the "edit" would be relevant ?

@raniazyane If I mistyped, it would be useful :)
@busmark_w_nika I appreciate the insight and will incorporate it.
