How it works
Krusning, step by step
Everything practical: what you can do here, what happens to what you write, and what you will never find.
In short
Krusning is a place to tell good deeds you have seen. Someone carried a pram up the stairs for a stranger, someone put out water for the cats behind the market. It happens all the time and is rarely told.
Whoever reads one may want to do something of their own. If they do, and tell it, the new deed is joined to the one that woke it. The chain that grows is called a ripple, and it can run through cities and countries.
What counts as a deed?
Something good somebody did for another person, for an animal, for nature or for a community: a club, a street, a school. Big or small. Most of what is told here is small, and that is the point.
Who tells it?
Usually the one who saw it, not the one who did it. There are three ways, and you pick the one that is true:
- I saw this myself. You were there.
- I stand by this. You did not see it, but you know it first-hand: a colleague's, a neighbour's, something done for you.
- I did this myself. Allowed, but not the usual.
Before it is published you promise exactly that, in one line. Nobody checks it; it is a promise, not a review.
How do I tell one?
- What happened? In your own words. You can start straight away in the box at the top of the front page.
- Who was it for, and what changed? A person, an animal, nature or a community, and a line about the difference it made.
- When, and where? Roughly when (today, this week, this month, earlier) and, if you like, which city.
The first time, you sign in with your email: a code arrives in your inbox. Then you pick a pseudonym, the name shown with what you tell. Your email is never shown. It takes about a minute.
How does it become a ripple?
Did something here make you do something of your own? Tell it from that deed's page, or choose it while telling. Your deed becomes the next link in its ripple.
Every ripple is drawn as a tree: where it began, what followed and where it branched. Whoever told a deed can hear when it led to another.
Can I thank someone?
Yes. Choose Thank someone at the top of the front page and tell what someone did for you. At the end we make a card, a thank-you card, with your words and a QR code, which you send or print and give them yourself. The card never carries a name.
Do I need an account to read?
No. Everything told can be read without one. To react there are three buttons: Moved me, Thank you and Want to do the same. Only the one who told it sees the counts. Deeds you want to do the same as are kept on your page, where only you see them.
What you won't find here
- No like counts to chase, and no leaderboard of people.
- No pledges, challenges or streaks.
- No photos of people.
- No exact place: never finer than a city.
- Nobody judging whether a small deed is true.
What happens to what I write?
It is published at once. If something is harmful anyone can report it, and a person reads it. What harms is removed; being small or hard to believe is no reason.
You can edit what you told (it is marked as edited) and delete your account. The words and your name go, but its place in the ripple stays, so nobody else's chain breaks.
Who is behind it?
Krusning is run by Bernie Solutions AB. It is free to read and to tell. Why we do it, and what research says about seeing and telling something good, is on Why are we doing this?
