Hmm.. any meaningful use of the funds will give a user an extra excuse though

All the money goes directly into my pocket, with none of it being allocated for positive purposes, such as charitable donations. So, as a user, you should be motivated to persist in pursuing your goal.

I built a web app that lets you share your goals publicly, together with a pledged amount. If you achieve your goal, great! Else, you pay the pledged amount as a fine to me. Sounds goofy, but I hope it provides the extra reason for you to keep going when the going gets tough!

How it works: 1. Set a public goal together with a pledged amount

For example: "I will complete 10 hours of my Udemy's web dev course this weekend" (pledged amount = 5 USD)

2. Update the outcome of your goal

If you walked your talk, great! Else, pay the fine (based on your pledged amount) to us :)

WalkTheTalk serves as a commitment device and as with all commitment devices, it works only to the extent that a user wants it to. Goofy, but potentially really useful!
