About This Site
The Aura Points Calculator is a small, independent web toy built and maintained by a solo developer. It exists because the aura-points meme deserved a proper scoreboard: a consistent checklist, a fixed tier ladder, and a share card that renders in your browser — instead of a different made-up number in every comment section.
Our honesty principles
This is an unusual page to write, because our entire dataset is fictional on purpose. So here is exactly where the line sits:
- The point values are invented and we say so everywhere. No study, survey or committee produced "-1,030 for pushing a pull door". We wrote it because it was funny. Every page on this site repeats this, because a humor tool that pretends to measure something stops being funny and starts being misleading.
- The math on top of the jokes is real and tested. The scoring is a plain sum, the tier boundaries are fixed and documented, the positives total exactly +10,000 and the negatives exactly -10,000. The logic ships with an automated test suite that checks every tier boundary.
- We describe the trend, we don't invent its history. Where we explain aura points as a TikTok-era meme, we stick to how the joke works and avoid fabricated statistics, origin stories or popularity numbers.
- Everything runs in your browser. No accounts, no server-side scoring, no uploaded results. The share cards are drawn on a canvas element on your own device.
Invented vs. real: the full breakdown
Because "our data is fake on purpose" is an easy thing to say and a harder thing to be precise about, here is every component of the site sorted into the right column:
| Component | Invented or real? | How you can check |
|---|---|---|
| The 30 point values | Invented — written for comedy | Stated on every page that shows a number |
| The scoring formula | Real — a plain sum, no weighting | Check any two boxes; the total is their sum |
| Tier boundaries | Real — fixed and published | The ladder table on the home page |
| The +/-10,000 range | Real — an arithmetic property | Pack subtotals on the points list |
| Trend background | Descriptive — no invented stats | No popularity or origin figures are quoted anywhere |
| Your results | Never collected | Open DevTools; the calculator makes no requests |
The stack, briefly
Static pages built with Astro, one interactive React island for the calculator, styled with Tailwind CSS. There is no backend. The result cards are generated with the HTML canvas API at 1080×1920 and 1200×630.
