I've been working on a platform that allows you to log and track daily events https://www.simplejournal.online/

I've been more focused on collecting rather than processing the data and giving automated feedback, like what you're doing with your telegram bot. I really like that aspect. Very cool setup

Just want to reinforce what others are saying: I visited the site and was intrigued. I wanted to see what the experience was like. So I clicked "try it" but instead of getting to try it, I was presented with a sign-up form.

Would be really great to let people try the experience and then prompt them to sign up to save it.

Thank you for the feedback, that's a good point. I was toying with the idea before but not quite sure what the right approach would be, from a technical perspective. I suppose I could just save everything on a dummy user and clean them up every 24 hours or something. I'll have to look into it.

On the topic of the platform. I started out making it for myself and some friends, with some success. Some time ago I did a Show HN where I didn't get any feedback at all, and since then I've been a bit hesitant to put in any more dev hours. So it's good to hear that you were intrigued

It looks interesting. However, there are a couple of issues here.

- The page is missing even a vague privacy policy. I get it that that might not be a priority when you're just working on the MVP but, IMHO, you should put at least a couple of words on what you're doing with users data.

- There's a single word on the page that says "Encryption" and that's it. This makes me more nervous, not less.

- No information on the company that's selling this.

- No screenshots.

Thank you for your feedback. Yes, I'll make sure to add a privacy policy soon. Basically the email address is just to send you an email in case you forget your password. Content is encrypted using https://github.com/ankane/lockbox default setup I've been considering adding optional end-to-end encryption as well, but am a bit afraid people might lose access to content forever if they lose access to keys. Thanks also on the remark about the company, looking at it I can see how it might be a bit ambiguous. I'll make sure to clarify it further on the about page. Basically it's a company called Unless which is my business entity as a freelancer. I am Lars Böhm, webdeveloper/designer from Amsterdam. If you have any further feedback it is always appreciated, and thank you again

Interesting, would you consider adding a bit more information and perhaps some screenshots on the home page? I don't want to sign up to find out.

Good point, I'll add some photos and a video later this week. There are a few screenshots on Producthunt here: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/simple-journal
