The Backstory
Hey there! I stumbled upon this little gem on Reddit – a single HTML file that acts as a full-blown journaling app. No logins, no fuss, just pure reflection. The creator's commitment to privacy really resonated with me. Plus, the weighted prompts are a stroke of genius – keeps the experience engaging and avoids the dreaded 'question fatigue'. I was especially charmed by one comment where a user described feeling truly stopped in their tracks by a prompt. That, my friends, is the magic of thoughtful design!
