Hi! Great product! Can you share the tech stack? Also have you used Twilio API for sending messages?

@akshay_arunkumar2 Yeah, we're using Twilio for the smses (I'm fiddling around with Whatsapp as well, we'll see how that goes). Tech stack is a nice secure Django project running on Heroku :)

@thedrmcbadass Actually I was also thinking of making a Whatsapp based journal using Twilio API and Flask :P

One of the problems I've had with writing is that I thought it needs to be pages and pages long. This takes away all of the pain and simplifies it into an easy ans simple way to write. I especially like the ability to send in entries via email

@sudosays When I got started I only did 2-3 sentences a day. Over time it got easier and easier to write and I found myself doing a page, 2 pages a day. That is my intention with Some words for me. For people to build this awesome habit :)

I just wrote my first journal entry in ages, feels good. Also between all the work emails that I get - it's so welcome having an email that's just between me and myself. <3 Really love the product so far.

@json_ I should be marketing this as MaaS - Memories as a Service ;)

I like it. You can usually take a minute or two to write something down, but it won't happen most of the time unless you're prompted.

@j_j_j_like Yeah, I used to set a reminder on my phone to write, but would then not have my notebook on me. This is the problem I am trying to solve ;)

A few years ago I started writing every day. It started out with just one or two sentences, then turned into half a page, then a full page. Everyone knows that keeping a journal is one of the best things you can do for yourself, but it's a habit that is hard to stick to. That is why I created Some words for me. So that I (and you) will never miss a journal entry again.

Love the idea. Is it possible to export all entries? That's, at least for me, very important.

@and_php I have it on my list to finish that feature in the next day or two. Entries will be exportable to CSV and text :)

@and_php I just finished adding the feature (I had a bit of downtime), you can now download all your entries from your account page! :)

@thedrmcbadass One more question... Is it also possible to submit multiple entries per day? And any time I want? Or I have to wait for the reminder message first?

@and_php You can submit as many entries as you want, at any time of day. You will only receive the reminder once though
