Ponder - Daily journal from your new tab

Hey PH 👋 We're excited to share Ponder with the PH community today! Thanks @nickabouzeid for hunting us 😊 Since this January, we've been building a frictionless, shortcuts-based journaling experience built into your new tab on Chrome and Firefox (Safari coming soon). ✍ We built Ponder to get people right to journaling, without the mess of coming up with prompts, entering links, signing in, starting and saving entries, and even just clicking. Especially as the pandemic has forced many to be isolated and searching for ways to grapple with the new normal, we felt the need to give people a reflective outlet that doesn't add even more stress. Ponder makes it easier to daily journal and capture snippets of your life in written form. Today, Ponder lets you: 💭 Respond to thought-provoking prompts organized into categories — Daily Productivity, Daily Lists, Daily Reflection, Creative, Self-Reflection, Free-Write ... 🌱 Replace your new tab window with a beautiful page ⌨️ Use built-in keyboard shortcuts for a seamless writing experience 📵 Set gentle reminders to write daily when visiting unproductive websites 🔑 View password-enabled entries page and filter and search by category and content ☕ Enjoy aesthetic morning, afternoon, and evening backgrounds ❓Customize daily questions ✔️ Track writing streaks and analytics If you're into journaling or want to start, we would love your feedback! We want to create an even easier and more seamless writing experience. Shoot us a note at help@getponder.app with any thoughts, and we'll happily respond 🥑 Happy journaling! 👍👊😁

Such a cool way to bring journaling into the daily workflow! Also looks super clean :)

I reaally like the use case and ui of the product! Definitely gonna try this out

UI looks great, also great idea for personal dairy. I write something in my personal diary almost every day as a reflection. And the one-click recording tool can be a great improvement to the process. @amanda_deng How do you solve the issue of syncing with the old diary? Can I somehow write notes in your extension and automatically sync them with standard notes (like Apple)?

Ponder has a super clean UI, and the daily prompts are a nice way to reflect on your day with minimal effort. The visuals of this extension are also so satisfying - every time I open up a new tab I love seeing the Ponder backgrounds!

This is the push I needed to start low-stress journaling without worrying about carving out time out of my busy schedule. I love the new, thought-provoking prompts and the lovely UI as well -- and my mom uses Ponder too! <3

It seems really interesting, awesome designs!

Marvelous work of design and engineering. Excellent job!

Started using this a few days ago and I'm really enjoying it, thanks for creating @amanda_deng! One bit of feedback - the signup page was challenging to navigate (too much info for me), and I struggle a bit with the settings page too. Wonder if you could make this cleaner?

I like the design and simplicity of the Ponder 😊 Congrats with launch!

Super clean! Having it as an extension makes me feel like it isn't as disruptive to my normal workflows. Really love that it sets up UI blocks/reminders for unproductive website

This is exactly the tool that I never knew I needed until I found it! I can’t think of a better way to start a new chapter in my life than with daily reflection! The UI/Design is top-notch, and the team behind it is even better from what I hear :) Congrats on the launch!!

Really gorgeous product! Thoughtful prompts that gets me to reflect each time and beautiful aesthetics. My friends also love it!

Love that this extension integrates journaling right into my day to day work! Ponder does a great job reminding me to set aside time to reflect and introspect while I’m completing tasks (or dare I say, procrastinating) on my computer.

This is a must-have writing tool for creatives - easy to access and use, beautiful UI, and thoughtful about the journaling experience. You can track your progress, set reminders and secure your writing with a password. Most importantly, just seeing the app puts you into the mood for writing!

Ponder is so aesthetic!! And as someone who’s terrible at keeping a diary of any sort, I’ve found is super nice and easy to respond to a prompt each day because it’s at my fingertips and doesn’t require much additional work/reminding! There’s so much to love about this product!!

Looks slick! Congrats on launch

As someone not used to daily reflection, Ponder makes it super easy for me. Will definitely share with friends!

I love this! I just wrote an article for a client about "journaling for mental health" and was thinking how useful a good digital tool would be. Looks like you were already on it!

this is amazing, congrats on the launch!! I have always found it hard to decide on what to write about when it comes to journaling. Love the thought provoking prompts. Congrats again!
