#52Amazing work, incredible on-boarding experience. Opening the app for the first time and having the past few days already perfectly chronicled for me felt truly magical. Maybe I just got lucky, but I felt like the combination of my photos, geolocation data, and time data was perfect. Thanks for showing!

#53I am floored by you weaving feature explanations with permission grants. That is art.
Totally agree. Super-elegant. Often the permission grant seems like you're doing the app a favor. In this case it seemed like the app was doing you a favor.

#54One thing that I've always liked about OhLife is that they send me an email everyday to keep track of my journal entries, anyway of integrating that in? I keep a zero inbox so this works out for me really well.

#55I love the idea. I have a terrible memory, and when people ask me "remember when were at ____ on ____?". My answer, every time, is no.
If only I had an iPhone...

#56Wow. I rarely download this stuff. But the fact that it claims to be automatic piqued my interest.
After downloading it I can say that my first impression is shocked. Shocked that I really liked it.
I think what I love about it is that it's not social. It lets me relive my recent past. It includes some photos of my kids that I wouldn't put on Facebook, for example. That leads to a much more intimate experience of my past.

#57Good for OP admitting they spent more than a weekend or 2 weeks on a project. Most of what we see posted boasts about how quickly they did it.

#58When I read the title I got concerned that you worked on something for 2 years without testing the market with a quick prototype, but looking at your site I'd say your likely to succeed. Excellent execution!

#59I love that I didn't have to do anything and I already had a journal from my old photos. Very compelling. Overall on-boarding fantastic.
I also really appreciate that its a private journal. Sick of sharing.

#60I was really happy to see an app I actually want to use.
Then I downloaded it, went through the introduction and hit a wall when I had to make an account or log in with facebook.
If this is a personal journal, why do I have to make an account? I would love to use the app, but I'm not going to make an account and would want it to run without having to connect to an outside server in any way.
