Coach Thyself is a journaling app with structure instead of blank pages: - Daily prompts and community questions to write about - Goal tracking and task organization built in - Optional insights from philosophy/astrology/psychology as reflection triggers - No social features, followers, or performance metrics
I use it every morning now instead of scrolling. It's the motivation that keeps me working on it.
Tech stack: [whatever you used - mention it if interesting] 7-day free trial, $12/month after: https://thyself.coach
Happy to answer questions about the build process or journaling habits. Looking for feedback on what would make this more useful.

So when I journal manually in a book, I trust that I'm going to be the only person reading it. When I journal digitally is a bit different, in this case I trust the app because I made it myself for my own needs, but I wonder how to transmit that trust to the user. Encryption can be the way to go, I know there are different ways of implementing that, maybe optional encription in some places or some texts, but then if the users loosses the password then that content is gone forever, and also there could be say if we want to add some functionality to work with those pieces of text, if it's encrypted the backend would not be able to do things like filtering and so on...
