Hello Product Hunt, maker here 👋😊
I’ve been looking for a great journaling app for quite a while and never found what I was looking for. Many apps were intransparent about how they store their data, bloated with features, or just not very nice to use or look at.
That’s why I created Mini Diary. My focus was on simplicity, security, and making it rewarding for users to write an entry every day – days with entries are colored in the in-app calendar. 🎨
Thanks a lot to @ozgrozer for hunting! 😃
@vladkorobov Hi Vlad! I wanted to create a cross-platform app, so I decided to go with Node.js and Electron. The UI is built using React and state management is handled by Redux. What I really like about Electron is the flexibility it gives you regarding the interface and its API to native features, like support for macOS Mojave's Dark Mode :)
Do you intend to release an iOS version with iCloud syncing in the future? I really love the minimal design of the app! This would be a great alternative to popular journaling apps out there like Day One.
@xuan_bach_le Hey, thanks a lot! I'm afraid haven't planned anything for the near future. But if it turns out that people are actually using this app, I'll definitely consider it! 😊
