Thanks for being here and willing to try Petty.
Petty started as a little game my husband and I used to play each week. After our son was born, there was tension around household chores that would quietly build up. As a joke, I built a chores board in our kitchen, with physical tokens we could earn for different chores. At the end of each week, we'd see who won, and the loser would have to do something special for the winner, like a 30 minute massage (which I received most weeks). It quickly became competitive, and well, petty (hence the name of our app), but most importantly, an effective way of diffusing tension and bringing equanimity into the household. We went back to it anytime things felt off-balance.
Petty is just that, but as an app.
I built this first version myself with the help of AI tools. So it is by no means perfect and there are so many things that could be improved. And those of you that know me... I'm frankly embarrassed by the roughness of the design. But I wanted to get the main idea in front of real couples quickly.
I mean it when I say any and all feedback is welcome — there's a FEEDBACK button on the Profile tab of the app. And if you know a couple who'd get something out of this, I'd be grateful if you'd share
