WordPress based multi user online journal
- sugerman 11y agoIn other words, WordPress?
- slackstation 11y agolol
- ohsik 11y agoIt depends on your perspective. I see it as a product built on Wordpress. Techcrunch.com = WordPress? ;)
- gravypod 11y agoIf it is being marketed as a journal than I think this is one of the worst ideas someone could have. It would be all of the information someone would need to social engineer their way into ruining your life gathered into one place.
- adamkochanowicz 11y agoTake it easy. This was someone's hard work.
- gravypod 11y agoI'm not criticizing the implementation, I'm talking about the marketing.
- ohsik 11y agoI'm assuming you are talking about the way I wrote about the site here. I'm actually new to Haker News and still not quite sure how to use this forum properly yet.
- gravypod 11y agoI'm talking about how you are offering your service as a private journal. I think it would be cool to see this talked about as a blog, I love to see new competition in that space, but saying that it is private will, in my opinion, would be misleading to the average user.
- ohsik 11y agoIf you google "online journal", you will see a bunch of sites offer a very similar service. If the word "private" freaks you out, you will be very surprise how the other competitors are advertising their private journals ;) (totally secure, always secure and etc...) GoodnightJournal.com actually warns the people to be careful with personal data rather than just saying it's secure cause I believe nothing is 100% secure if the idea comes out of your head.

- ohsik 11y agoThank you for your kind word. And totally agree with your point of view :) someone did spend lots of time and effort!
- ohsik 11y agoI don't think I quite understand you but apparently I'm the guy with the one of the worst ideas lol. On GoodnightJournal.com you can write private journals too! It's entirely up to you to make your journal available for others or yourself. Also I don't think sharing journals will ruin your life either. Check out couple public journals on the site with comments to see how people interact each other on public journals. You will see more positive aspect of it.
- gravypod 11y agoThe problem that I see is entrusting someone with secrets about yourself. It seems like a great way to get burned in the act. People will see "it's private" and think they can take that to the bank. That is quite the target for some people.

- adamkochanowicz 11y agoI don't understand the description, this is a wordpress theme?
- ohsik 11y agoIt's a free online journal website where people can write private or public journals. And yes it has it's own theme :)
- ratonofx 11y agoSeems the idea is similar to the old "Storylane"...
- ohsik 11y agoHad to google Storylane but no way to see what it was like since Facebook acquired them. Thanks for the info tho!
- gmays 11y agoNice work! Not something I'd use, but I am a fan of building on WordPress as a platform--it's highly underestimated.
- ohsik 11y agoThank you!
