Show HN: MyDailyLife – simple habit-forming online journal

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'd say I'm 95% there, but it's important to get something out and launch early - so there's still some things I want to add to it. But I've been using it for the past month and I really like the process of "journaling" every day.

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.

Some additional things I'll be adding in the next week: - Encryption. I've been playing around with this for a little bit, but it'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'll keep you motivated, and let you know how far you are from hitting certain streaks. Your first week/month etc.

Long term I plan on charging money for it - mainly to ensure that I can keep the site running, I don't want to lose your data.. or announce that I shut down with a week notice. It's your data, it's important!

Thank you so much for trying it out - I can't wait to hear what every one of you think! :)
