Should old entries be editable, or does that break the honesty?

Right now you can go back and edit or delete anything you've posted, private or anonymous. Feels right for privacy, nobody should be stuck with something they regret sharing. But it also means every entry can quietly get sanded down into something more flattering after the fact, which is basically the exact self-editing this app exists to get away from.

Torn on whether locking entries after some point is actually more honest, or just adds the same pressure back in through a different door.

How do you think about this?

How anonymous should "anonymous" be?

Working on Diaroq, stuck on a design call: when someone posts anonymously, should we show anything e.g. a timestamp, a mood emoji, a rough location, or should anonymous mean zero metadata, full stop?

Part of me thinks a little context stops entries from feeling like they're floating in a void. The other part thinks any extra detail chips away at the one promise that actually matters.

Where would you land on this?
