An application I use for a similar “tweeting but for your eyes only” experience is Memos and the MoeMemo’s app.
My main reason for using memos is being able to self-hosted the server and I can use it in the browser and the app.
Congratulations on the launch! It looks very polished and easy to use.
Coincidentally, I've come up with same idea independently with my own journaling app with a social media interface (Minders). I've seen at least a couple of other apps that go for this kind user experience, which is fun, as there's lots of ways to tackle this type of app. For me, I put in some ideas consistent with social media that may or may not work (still figuring it out), like being able to "retweet" earlier posts, quote them, and reply to them, so it's kind of like having a conversation with yourself across time.
I've found that the social media-like UI really does help with recording quick notes to myself. It seems to promote more browsing than, say, a list of notes, and hashtags make it fun to jump around and see related notes, etc.
Like the idea of the app. However, the upper part of the interface (text entry page) seems to be a hair too big for the screen on my iPhone 14 Pro. I can't see the First letter of the Month or the last half of the Cancel button. Not sure what the first button is below the text box. Can only see the last half of it.
This looks amazing and fills a niche that I’d love to have filled. Also totally willing to pay the cost. I appreciate that good software is worth money.
One question I do have though is how freely available is your data? The post makes it sound like it’s accessible but how does that work?
This is very intriguing… I'd love to see some integration with the built-in Reminders app, as I think I would mostly be jotting down ideas or tasks that I'd want to pursue later.
There's something heartwarming that despite journal apps being such a huge category on the App Store, people are still trying to come up with better experiences. Gives hope for the platform.
Congrats on the launch!

@xenodium is almost single-handedly creating the possibility of org-mode being as cross-app usable as markdown, and I _heartily_ appreciate it.
Nice to see this on HN from the app creator. Intrigued to try it (vs BeOrg) after seeing coverage at irreal, one of my usual emacs oriented blogs.

$20? Just once? This is the best pricing scheme I’ve been for an app this year!

Best of luck on your app!

This looks very nice but $15 oof. I use logseq ios + mac app (with db in icloud) and it has been serving me well and is free.
Nice, congrats! I am still thinking about how to implement encryption, maybe by storing in a cryptomator volume? But happy to deal with org!
I was looking for a way to do literally this a week ago. Excellent timing!
Any plans to bring this to Android?
It looks like an easy way to get in to digital journalling.

Wish it were cheaper - but I bit already - I think at a lower price you would move multiple times more
I'm interested. But I think the sync story outside of iCloud needs to be fleshed out.
Is this solving a different problem than Apple's Journal app?

Nice! what would be the main differences compared to DayOne?
