The Civility
Tracker website was born out of a curiosity to see how far a reach the ripples
of kindness have in our global world. To track the
trail of kindness, we created this handy tracking site to follow where small
cards given out at our library can travel.
Our printed
kindness cards have a QR code and bit.ly address on the back that allows the
receiver of the card to log in to the website and submit why they received the
kudos and where they are in the world. The next person to receive that
card can then log in and share their story, and we can see the ripple start to
form and move outside of our library and into the world.
We hope to show that a kindness that was recognized in Corvallis, Oregon might
move across the globe.
The Civility Tracker was launched in early 2016 and retired near the end of that year. If you wish to borrow our code to start your own tracker, please see our Civility
Tracker on GitHub.
