On desktop, I can only scroll the middle section of the site. If I hover anywhere on the side margin and try to scroll, nothing happens. (Firefox, macOS)
I've worked on 2 "zero-knowledge" apps (basically meaning all data is encrypted/decrypted on the client) and I would advise against it: * most consumers have no idea what you're talking about / don't care * those who know what "zero trust" is, also know that it's not really trustless. You do have to trust the company that it will never send the password or plaintext data back to the server. Checking this on a continu…
While this is very well put, isn't this like saying "people could jump over the safety rail. So there is no point having it". Your logic that the app could deploy a "rogue update" so it has little merit would essentially say there is no point in mitigating anything because insert unlikely failure case . When saying it causes people to trust you less by raising the spectre I disagree. I would assume that a company foc…
Essentially it's not really zero trust at all. When I think of zero trust I think of running code locally that is either firewalled or I wrote it myself.
I appreciate that if you _do_ trust them, then this setup is much better as it eliminates the risk of a data leak via compromise, which is all too common these days.
I've been journaling for about 15 years now. The big key to getting consistent at it was to stop worrying about trying to write a lot, or trying to write something insightful, and just write a sentence or two at a minimum. Often, that turns into more or into something insightful.
Having some sort of prompt helps, too, to keep up the habit. I use Day One, and they have a prompt that changes daily; today's is "What is something I want to do for myself in the coming year?" One of my favorites is "Describe something you learned from your mother" which is absolutely not something I would have thought to write about unprompted. Another cool thing they have is templates. I use one called "Daily Self…

I've been doing it only for 3 or 4 years, and this 100% lines up with my experience. There are times when I haven't been consistent, and it always comes down to feeling that "I can't do a good job of it right now, maybe later..." and then I miss that day, and miss that week, etc. I use the mobile app Pixels for journaling though. It lets the user define custom tags (I track emotions, activities, wake up time, body pa…
My current solution is to write many times a day (each hour when possible). Write short sentences with key information and then move on. Sometimes I'll edit some old entries to remove details and reduce length. The best part is that "key information" also changes, so it also ends up reflecting what was important to me at the time.
This is awesome. It reminds me of 750words.con
This is really cool. I love the yearly views. Are you going to make an app too?
The front end is beautiful, how did you build it?

1/ what do you feel like you've learned or gained from this? 2/ do you ever go back and study what you wrote or is it more about giving your thoughts clarity today?
