Hey everyone! :) I just decided to make MyDailyLife public. I wanted to get in to daily journaling myself and as part of that I decided to create a simple online journaling tool. I&#x27;d say I&#x27;m 95% there, but it&#x27;s important to get something out and launch early - so there&#x27;s still some things I want to add to it. But I&#x27;ve been using it for the past month and I really like the process of &quot;journaling&quot; every day.<p>It works by sending you a reminder email every day at 8pm. You can then reply to the email to write your daily entry - or you can go to the web interface and write it there.<p>Some additional things I&#x27;ll be adding in the next week: - Encryption. I&#x27;ve been playing around with this for a little bit, but it&#x27;s not quite ready to release yet. I understand the privacy concerns people might have - and I want to allow for an option to encrypt your data before it hits our system. - Images. The ability to add photos to a post, either by mailing them in - or attaching them on the website. - Encouragement. Something that&#x27;ll keep you motivated, and let you know how far you are from hitting certain streaks. Your first week&#x2F;month etc.<p>Long term I plan on charging money for it - mainly to ensure that I can keep the site running, I don&#x27;t want to lose your data.. or announce that I shut down with a week notice. It&#x27;s your data, it&#x27;s important!<p>Thank you so much for trying it out - I can&#x27;t wait to hear what every one of you think! :)
