Show HN: Piruetas – A self-hosted diary app I built for my girlfriend

#1

Post by patillacode »

I searched for a simple, self-hosted journal app for my girlfriend and everything I found was either too complex, too feature-heavy, too feature-less for what I needed or required trusting a cloud service.

So I built Piruetas (it means pirouettes in Spanish - she chose the name btw).

It's a day-per-page diary with rich text editing, drag-and-drop image uploads, auto-save, public share links, and a clean mobile UI. It can be set up for Personal or Multi-user usage via docker compose deployment.

She seems to like it so I decided to give back to the community and make it available for everyone (after some QA)

Pirueta is not lollipop in Spanish, it would be “piruletas” (at least in Spain Spanish). Piruetas is pirouette, as in what a ice skater might do.

That's a lucky escape.

For some reason car manufacturers have this issue

Mitsubishi Pajero (renamed in Spain).

Ford Pinto (renamed in Brazil).

Toyota MR2 (renamed in France although slightly different issue).

Honda Fitta (renamed in Scandi countries)

That's where LLMs with web search enabled help to check for dangerous project names in other languages.

The funny thing is that I am Spanish, and I tricked myself because we discussed between "piruletas" and "piruetas", and I had the message prepared before the name change, my bad.
