heyprayfor.me is an experiment intended to enrich people's connection and empathy for each other through prayer.
To avoid fear of conflict and encourage heartfelt prayer requests, users operate in anonymity — no personally identifiable information is asked for.
The platform is religion-agnostic, People who participate are free to pray in whatever way their beliefs dictate.
For those who choose to pray for a request, they are able to indicate they've done so by clicking on the heart icon under each request — no other response is provided.
The requestor can return to heyprayfor.me and browse for their request to see if it's received prayer from others.
The first release of heyprayfor.me will be a minimum viable product as described above and ship as a website.
The end goal is to ship heyprayfor.me apps for mobile platforms.
As a mobile app, certain additional features, such as new prayer requests/prayers received notifications will be possible.
Still, I never intend to complicate the app in ways that confuse it's purpose. heyprayfor.me will always be a safe place for those needing and willing to provide prayer.
I am deliberately keeping this project very lightweight. Economy is found in every aspect of it's design and development.
I'm also cutting my teeth in many aspects on this project — and learning a lot! So things may go slowly...
I welcome constructive feedback to any of the codebase.
Kind regards, Spike
