About

What is this?

One person wants to buy a car. Instead of asking for money, they make free, useful, slightly absurd little web tools and ask one question after each: was this worth €1 to you?

Why does it exist?

Because "free stuff on the internet" usually hides the price: your data, your attention, ads. Here everything is free and stays free, and the price is optional and stated up front. The goal is embarrassingly concrete: one car, €30,000.

The car fund, exactly

Target: €30,000. Real money received so far: €0. Payments are not open yet.

Until they open, the site only records intention: how many people said "worth €1 / €3 / €5" and how many said "not worth it". Intention is shown separately and is never counted as money. When enough people have said yes, a normal payment provider will be connected and real contributions will show on the homepage, publicly.

Where every euro goes: the personal purchase of one car. Not to a company. Not to a cause. Not to "running costs". If the target is reached, the purchase will be documented here.

What it is not: not an investment, not equity, not crowdfunding for a business, not charity, not an emergency, not a promise of any return. A contribution is a voluntary gift, like buying a stranger a coffee because their thing made your day slightly better.

What can I use?

Drops. Small web experiences that work instantly in a browser: calculators, receipts, tests, visualisations, generators, little games. No accounts, no apps, no paywalls. See the list. New ones are added continuously; the ones nobody likes are removed. You can also put any drop on your own site for free.

Why would I share it?

Because the results are personal and slightly ridiculous, and that is what people send each other. Sharing is also the only "payment" the project needs right now. Every drop has a share panel that builds an image on your device, plus WhatsApp, Telegram, email and a link that lets a friend compare with you.

Who is behind it?

One person, deliberately not named: the tools should be judged on whether they are worth it, not on who made them. No company, no organisation, no charity. Software does much of the routine work, under simple rules: no spam, no fake accounts, no bought attention, no fake results.

FAQ

Is anything charged when I click "Worth €1"?

No. Nothing. Right now the button records intention only. Real payments are closed until a human decides to open them, and the homepage will say so clearly when that happens.

Why a car and not something noble?

Because it is true. Fake nobility is worse than honest smallness. You are not asked to care about the car; you are asked whether a free tool was worth €1.

Who are you?

One person, not named. To reach the project, open an issue on GitHub.

What happens to my data?

Very little. An anonymous random id in your browser, the page you viewed, the country your connection comes from, and your answers. No names, no ads, no trackers from third parties. If you leave an email to be told when payments open, it is used for that one message and nothing else. Details in the privacy page.

What if the target is never reached?

Then the internet decided the tools were not worth it, and that is a valid result. Everything stays free anyway.

Can I suggest a drop, or embed one?

Yes and yes. Suggest via GitHub issues; embed via the embed page.
