I didn't realise that building a journal would be such a vulnerable project. It's not only a constant presence in someone's life, but something that positively impacts their mental health. Rare when it comes to products these days & consumerism as a whole.
The positive feedback on how this journal has changed people's lives has been an overwhelming joy to process. After releasing it in 2021 as an experiment, I nearly didn't release it again for 2022 as I'd thought probably no one would care.
I was wrong. In a world of disposable SaaS products and 'shiny new toys', to have people beg to bring it back for a second year felt surreal. This Product Hunt Launch honestly isn't even for me, it's simply to:
a) Say thank you to the 342+ journalers who've taken time out of their day this year to make this journal a part of their life - I'm honoured to be on this journey of self-care, gratitude & manifestation with you.
b) Hopefully spread some more joy from my little journaling community to the rest of the Product Hunt crowd and possibly touch even more lives. If this launch makes even one person's day better, then it was worth it
I know this isn't the type of product you're used to seeing or message you're used to reading on here. Thank you for reading & hopefully see you around The Happiness Bar
✨ Open to any questions ✨
Congrats on your launch! Especially a huge fan of the aestethics of the journal - normally I'm a big fan of minimalism, but I reckon the color scheme is great for this type of template. Great job, keep going! <3
I love this product! There are great resources to help make it your own, even if you are a notion newbie. It makes me look forward to recording my day and is the journal I have stuck with the longest
