The bright side of history — no wars, no bad news

Hey Product Hunt 👋

Diem shows you one real historical event tied to today's date — but only the good half: discoveries, peace, culture, sport. No wars, no assassinations, no bad news mixed in with the good stuff.

I work in emergency medicine, so a lot of my week is night shifts. The last thing I want at 4am is a "this day in history" app that opens with a massacre. So I built the version I actually wanted.

A few things that make it different:

- Every event is written twice, by hand — English and Croatian, not machine-translated

- A Daily Challenge quiz where one wrong answer ends your run

- Streaks that unlock new accent colors (30 days, 100 days, favorites-based)

- A home screen widget, so most days you don't even need to open the app

Free to use. Pro unlocks the full calendar (browse any date, not just this month) and extra colors.

Live in 48 minutes — would love your thoughts, questions, or what you'd want from a "positive history" app that we haven't built yet.
