This is beautifully designed, but otherwise I don't see how it differentiates from other personal journaling apps (e.g. 750words, or even Evernote, or even Notepad), and I'm not about to sign up to find out.
I think you should wait until things are further along and then share this again with HN. I imagine you have a significant vision for this thing, but that's still opaque at this point.
Also:
> Daybook was built with the idea of providing a foundation where people can write about their lives and save it for days to come, for generations to see.
I'd be wary of putting any writing that I wanted to preserve "for generations" on a website that--no offense--might disappear in two months.
- daybook 12y agoThanks for the feedback. As of right now the main difference would be the writing experience, and the way platform transforms the post into book-like form. There are still a few key features which I have yet to implement, but I thought it would be a good idea to show HN the site early so I could grow the platform from the outside in.
- taco_emoji 12y ago> way platform transforms the post into book-like form OK, well... there's a reason mice have wheels now. If you're committed to a page-turning UX, you might want to think about this as an iPad app.
