#12Is it possible to run it locally or create backups or link it with some storage?
Only reason for asking it is that I was thinking of something similar and started keeping a daily diary in text files.
Can add summary of sorts for weekly thing.
But if someone is like me and has years worth of data, they'd want to be sure that data is going to be there in future as well.

#13Sometimes I think this concept is depressing because it increases the pressure to "do something" with your life. When you are presented with the finiteness of your life you feel pressure to fill each moment/cell with something "meaningful" or "worthwhile". When someone is enjoying a hobby they will lose track of time yet that hobby may be frivolous in the eyes of someone else. Do they want something like this to trac…
It is depressing. But most things are when it comes to achievements. I think I do not need any help from an app to tell me I have not done has much as I could have done. I have that going on already, looping on a while 1==1 fashion.

#14Date picker is broken, also it is really slow webpage for what it is doing. Every web developer in 2024 and forwartd should have average device released at least 10 years ago to understand that what they are writing these deys using this horrendous web frameworks is unusable on these devices.
Complaining about this as well, I think entering day/month with keyboard is fine but the website completely freezes upon entering year and skips some digits entirely after many seconds of waiting. I'm on an old thinkpad, I get it, but I think everyone should keep an older device around just to demo their projects on because it helps catch such simple bottlenecks.

We increase that pressure.

I have something similar that was discussed here few months back, the whole thing is in a org file, i can add summaries etc and each becomes a hugo blogpost, it's not as interactive as OPs submission but works ok i guess.
Re: Show HN: Weeks of Your Life
#19One suggestion.... Make it faster to skip back and set the start date, or allow manual entry. I'm not even that old but it's a lot of months to click backwards on Android.

#20> As far as I know, there’s no way to set a dynamic width for an HTML input with pure CSS (please lmk if that’s not the case). Setting max-content doesn’t work, for example, because inputs are replaced elements that have intrinsic dimensions and behaviors that are not fully governed by CSS.
This is the case currently, but when field-sizing: content; lands, you can do it with a single property.
Also I get a weird feeling when something like React makes simple things hard and low performance. The solution of pouring a lot of time into debugging and optimizing (in context of React) feels even weirder to me. Sure, you might not need React here, but what if you do? What's the next best solution? Integrate the React "frame" with an "island" of vanilla?
I don't know, something about having this issue puts me off in a major way.
