What it is
A writing app that combines two things: daily, ongoing journaling and prompt-based notebooks. Prompt notebooks run in two modes: sequential, where each day gets the next prompt from a fixed list (mirroring how a course structures exercises), and random, where the day’s prompt is picked at random.
Why I built it
I wanted a writing tool that would handle both loose, daily journaling and a more structured practice, the kind writing courses impose with a fixed order of exercises. I couldn’t find an app that combined both, so I built my own.
What mattered to me
- A calm interface. I wanted the app to feel quiet and inviting to write in, not distracting.
- Local-first. Writing stays in the browser (IndexedDB), no account needed.
- Two prompt modes as an experiment. I hadn’t seen this combination in other writing tools, so I tested it myself. It’s part of a broader habit of exploring interactions rather than copying existing patterns.
Status
Core writing and IndexedDB sync work. Markdown support is still on the backlog.
