Maker here. I’ve went against the grain[1] and maintained this journaling app for the third year now. This is V3 that I just pushed few months ago that added photo logs (iOS only for now unlike V2). It may help people reflect now we are ent

Why hasn’t anyone built a short throw projector for office work(coding) yet? - reflective light just like eink so less eye strain - better refresh rate and latency - better color range Is it the resolution?

I am not disciplined enough to do the initial linking by using these timestamps, will also not break out of the flow to find the previous note in another folder and copy the timestamp around. Instead I’ve been using a stream of small auto-t

I created a mobile journaling app that has search, tagging and nothing more. It’s been very useful for me: https://thezenjournal.com/

I do. Went so far as creating an app for it cos I can’t stand using note taking apps or other badly designed tools. It’s called ZenJournal: https://thezenjournal.com/

This is great! I was using something similar before creating ZenJournal. Alternatively, you can also: - Create a private Twitter account - Private Slack community/channel - Private Keybase account (E2E encryption) There are drawbacks w

I created ZenJournal for this exact reason. I've used it continuously for the last year and a half, in contrast to all the dozen other apps I've tried. It was actually showcased here a few days ago: https://news.ycombin

For notes, I use Apple Notes. For organizing thoughts, I created an app called ZenJournal that was showcased here last week: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21876939

Are you saying the app doesn’t prevent you from just adding blank logs as entries? That’s also intentional as a way to do separators. :)

Thanks for the feedback! Although edit is something I rarely had the need to use, I agree it’s probably something that i have to add. Love the idea of having a marker to differentiate. About the spaces, yes you can add an empty line if you

Wow thanks! I spent two weeks to create that space illustration myself so I guess it’s worth it... :) please give it a review or spread the word so more people can find it.

Thank you! Yes the video is a bit fast. I’ve slowed it down since my first draft but still too much content to be fit in the 30s.

Right now I'm purely solving a personal pain, so I'm just offering it for free because I have to publish anyway and I kinda enjoy the process. As soon as there are enough requests coming in for features that I personally don'

Thanks for noticing: https://thezenjournal.com/#privacy Pretty deliberate about the policy. I don't care about third-party analytics, especially in a journaling app. I use this to app sometimes multiple times a day, on

Thank you for the shout-out! Will add that to the feature list. What's your desired font?

Very valid concern! Currently it exports to and restores from JSON so it's already 10x portable than most journal apps. I've been using this app for the last year and half consistently so it's hard to quit this habit now. In

Maker here. A while ago I wanted to find a journal app that would allow me to type my thoughts and ideas into a stream as if chatting or tweeting. I couldn't find anything. Most current journaling apps are either bloated with irrelevan

Only had experience with Cypher, really liked it. It will be interesting to see how Neo4j responds to this. Regardless of tech specs, the fully-managed Neptune vs a community version on AWS Marketplace seems to give Neptune unfair advantage

Since the Evernote announcement, I've been trying to find an open source alternative. This one is the closest I could find. Notable features: - Markdown - Image in Markdown - Notebooks and tags and searching - Encryption - Dropbox sync

Interesting angle approaching this problem, from a continuous log cacheable on the client. Just downloaded and used demo briefly so take this for whatever it's worth: - What about a sidebar for the issue detail, instead of a floating
