Sorry for the late reply... Cheers were designed to be public expressions of love and appreciation, for anyone, anything, anywhere. Sure they get the cheerer some attention because they are public, but that's not the primary motivation driving creation.

As such, the cheering someone elses wedding example is not really a common usecase. Unless you're cheering the couple to wish them well or something.

More common is cheering the stuff in your own life that you appreciate. Cheering your pets, loved ones, favorite apps, beautiful concepts or great design are much more common.

As you cheer things, what happens is that you reveal what you appreciate, and thus a little part of your heart, which makes it easier to connect with you (always along positive lines).

Anyway... I hope you give it a shot and let me know what you think after. Cheers! Farhad - ceo Cheerful, inc.
