I really really liked the design and feel of this app when I first saw it earlier this week. However, I had problems to signup and most of the links seemed to be broken (still now), maybe it is because I'm using Firefox? Keep it up!

@mezood thanks for your nice words about the design Joan! The app is still in beta phase, but we are working on the issues. The app works currently best installed as PWA, when you open it with Chrome and then save it to the home screen. We'll also deploy it to the PlayStore soon for easier installation.

@mezood @journalisticapp PWA also work with Firefox for Android and can be added to the homescreen normally 👌🏻

I love the simplicity and the focus on doing what it is intended to do and it isn't a generic note-taking app, tagging people, highlights, wisdom and ideas are great features. I found just one bug where the highlight heart doesn't go into the active state when clicked on. More things I like: Dark mode, big plus +++ I like that it tells you when it's a special holiday, like "New Years Day". I wonder if it is localized? Bookmarked and will be switching over from using excel to journal 🤣

@shavin47 thanks!!! We are also working on an optional feature that gives you inspirational historical flashbacks for the current day, e.g. X invented Y on Jan 2, 1921... If you have any suggestions for things that are missing or find more bugs just shoot it.

@toniengelhardt I'm not sure if historical events would be of use to me, i'd rather have my own highlights shown maybe? Like an "on this day" feature or snippets of it. When I used excel the problem was I rarely reflected back on the days I wrote about, which is why I am requesting such a feature. What's really good about Journalistic is the hyper focus on journalling, I'd rather you guys keep that focus and build features around journalling only.

@toniengelhardt There's also another serious refresh bug. The content doesn't update asynchronously as you submit, you have to refresh it.

@shavin47 totally agree! We have two features in mind "this day in history" which is supposed to give you inspiration for your day from historical events and "memory lane" which let's you reflect upon your own entries what happened last week, last month, last year aso. Also totally agree to keep the focus on distraction free, that is why every feature can be turned on/off in the settings and if you choose not to use a feature you will never see a trace of it and just can focus on the essentials.

THIS! This is EXACTLY the kind of journal I was waiting for!! Tags, people, dreams, ideas... all together, all organized. Easy and quick to write new entries. Minimal look, PWA that looks and works great on mobile... Almost too good to be true 😍 Current issues (to be expected as this is a beta): • tags and people (# and @) aren't immediately "formatted" after pressing enter/creating a new line, you have to refresh the page for the app to understand they are tags and not plain text... • can't change username and email of account (you can delete it though) • no way to export any data (so there's the fear that if the app goes away, my entries will be lost with it.. which doesn't make any user feel very secure about using a new product! I'm pretty sure export in plain text and/or CSV would be possible and also much appreciated!) • clicking on a tag or person right after they are created for the first time doesn't load any entries but just loads indefinitely. Refreshing the app fixes it. That's all for now. Gotta say, I am SUPER impressed and super happy to have found this because it looks exactly like the sort of journal I wanted. Couldn't have thought of any way to make it better (other than fixing the issues above of course)! ❤️

@anna_0x Wow Anna, thanks so much for your words, I think as a maker you could hardly wish for any better feedback! Export is already on the TODO list and bug fixing obviously as well ;) Do you think .txt and .csv would be sufficient as export formats and if yes, which one would you want first?

Report

7yr ago

@toniengelhardt you're very welcome! TXT should come first in my opinion, since we tend to read our journal entries like a book, we don't usually analyse them in spreadsheets (but CSV would be useful if you want to make changes, delete entries from certain days etc.) PDF and ePub would be awesome to have as options but they're definitely not necessary!

@anna_0x thanks for the feedback! I think we'll eventually support all of the formats you mentioned maybe with exception of ePub. We were also thinking about printed, high-quality books that contain all entries of a year, but that is a bit further down the road.

Nice little app, very clean layout, and some interesting features (but they don’t seem fully developed though, at least not on mobile). Has some bugs (when highlighting an entry the bullet only changes to the heart if you go to another page and come back). Fix this and some Ux issues, keep up the work and it can become a favorite 😊

Love this concept, almost the digital bullet journal I've been dreaming about. But simpler. The design is spot on, and there are a few bugs here and there, but based on the comments below the maker is clearly already squashing them. Keep this up!
