It's "emoji", not "emojie".

To be fair, you can break down 絵文字 as: e = 絵 = Picture moji = 文字 = Characters ...so you could interpret "emojielog" as "Picture-Character Picture Log". (...the "Select a Emojie for today" text kinda disproves that this was the intention, though...)

or just emoji e-log as emoji electronic log

Strongly remided me of the daylio app ( http://daylio.webflow.io/ ), which i'm using daily for pretty much that purpose

Apps like that make me think about vanity vs actionable metrics from Lean. What difference does it make if last week you were happy or not? Does it make you change your attitude or take a deeper look on what to do to improve it?

I am aware of the etymology of emoji; I think your interpretation goes well beyond "fair", all the way to "wildly reaching". It also doesn't explain the "emojie" in "a simple emojie journal" unless you want to make a case for "picture-character picture".

I like this idea of a simple app for a personal log. This is definitely the minimum detail level that i can picture being remotely useful. As usual, how much can it be enhanced without ruining it? I would like to be able to enter a custom emoji to log a broader range of emotions.

Will be expanding the emoji set.

Thanks for bringing it up. I will make sure to make the spelling changes :)
