JournalBook

Really digging the design. Feels extremely light and calm. Although, all those animations might get a little annoying with everything transitioning-in the page. Good work, though!

Looks quite smooth and has a gentle feel, I like the design. How can you add it to your home screen? There is no link nor explanation.

I'm concerned about the HTTP requests that fire off every time I navigate to a new page. E.g. navigating to my "Thursday 10th Jan 2019" note triggers [1]. It even includes a…

Fair point, this is the beginnings of a basic hit counter that I'm working on. As there's no server (it's CDN hosted on Netlify), there's no way to see if anyone's even using the…

In my mind, this completely contradicts "privacy centric" and "offline first", which to me are very important goals. Even though the notes in the app are only ever stored on my…

There's no sync (at this point) and no account creation by design. It's all stored in your browser - I suppose in that regard it is not 'online'! Sync may well be coming, but I'm…

+1 for syncing support between mobile/laptop. This is a must to have ability to write quick notes on mobile and prose on laptop.

This is great, but I'd be worried about easily losing all of my journals by simply clearning my browser history and wiping everything unknowingly. Any plans to wrap this as an…

I might sound like a crotchety old man but I'm kind of tired of these JS and local storage browser apps. The tech is still just as clunky as if I were using a text file on my…

this does not work in firefox .... really works only in chrome

does this not work in Firefox ? really ?

Nice, am trying now. I am on IE 11 on my desktop (corporate environment, not my choice) and it just displays a blank screen.

A real journaling app, for the hackernews crowd, must have syncing between any kind of device (imo), including the terminal. My solution is just nextcloud syncing text files,…

Is there a way to speed up the animations? It may not be a real problem once I actually use it, instead of clicking around, but it makes it feel really sluggish at the moment.

Really nice! Please get rid of the fade in fade out animation every time I click something. That time adds up, time I could be writing in my journal ;D

So why it's web based?

> real offline alternatives How about https://tiddlywiki.com/ ?

If you want that, try TiddlyWiki[1] -- an actual offline-first system for journaling and notes. It's a single, self-contained HTML file. You download it, add data, then overwrite…

No. Not really. http://jrnl.sh/ looks good too if you're starting from scratch.

All hilarious mocking aside (although you should probably turn this into a SaaS somehow and get it in the cloud), I've been using a simple .txt file for journaling since i…

I've tried various journaling apps, but I keep coming back to Emacs Org-Mode for my journals and writing because of its excellent tooling and export abilities. I keep a single…

I've been using Joplin and been really happy with it for my purposes so far https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/
