Crowdwish promised to act on a wish every day, and says it did for 1,400 days.

Most listings in the archive describe software. Crowdwish described a habit. Its Stompstart page explained that the site asked users to finish the sentence "I wish..." in a hundred characters or less, and then made a promise: "Every day, at 6pm GMT, we take action against the most popular wish of the day, in the real world."

The page was candid about how odd that sounded. If posting wishes were all it did, it admitted, the site would be "probably kind of pointless. Flaky and vague." The point was the daily action. If people wished for help for those sleeping on the streets, the team delivered food to homeless people. If they wished for festival tickets, it set up a competition with the organisers. If they wished for help with anxiety, it found expert advice. At the time of writing, the listing said, it had done this for 437 days in a row, and people had called the site a place that restored their faith in humanity.

By its own account, the daily promise held. Crowdwish's own site now reads like an epitaph written by the people who kept it: "Crowdwish was a project for social good which ran for 1400 days between 6th January 2014 and 8th November 2017," helping a member of the public on every one of those days.

It left more than a closing page. In November 2016, The Bookseller reported that the Constable imprint had bought "The Wish: 99 Things We Think We Want" by Bill Griffin, founder of Crowdwish. The publisher's listing shows it came out on 2 February 2017, built from 99 wishes posted on the site, and that the publisher said would be printed with 99 different covers. The Crowdwish site adds that publishers in other countries have taken the book, and that the format has been in development for television in Los Angeles, with a pilot to watch.

Many projects in this archive went quiet without a word. Crowdwish set itself a daily deadline, says it met it for almost four years, and then told everyone it was done.
