I suggest you practice writing more concisely.

The comment you replied to said that “…there's a lot here, and I think the product needs a much clearer story. The copy on the site is long and rambling and needs a lot of tightening up.”

In response, you wrote more text than I am willing to read — even though I was interested in your answer.

FYI: The new dlog.pro website is now live:

Responding to concerns regarding "long and rambling".

Fair point—my last reply was too long. Here’s the concise version: • What it is: Personal journaling + goals; not a team PM tool (no sharing yet). • Habit & wellbeing: Baseline + weekly model → small, specific nudges. Projects are optional. • Coach: Optional AI that summarizes your patterns; complements (doesn’t replace) a human mentor. • Privacy & cost: Journals stay on-device; by default no raw text leaves the Mac. AI is per-prompt/opt-in; typical use is modest. (HN readers can DM/email for a perpetual license + tokens to test.) • Action: I’m tightening the site copy and adding a clear “why” explainer.

Thanks for the nudge.

- em dash

- needless lists

- actual bullet point characters

- first sentence a variation of ‘you’re right’

There’s only 30ish comments on your post and half of them are yours. Are you really so busy that you can’t write your own 4 sentence reply?

Noted. Actually mods wrote me about this, apologies, I won’t use AI in comments here. Dlog is a private journaling app with optional goals and project lists. it’s not a team PM tool. The coach is optional and journals stay on the Mac by default. Concrete product feedback is welcome. I’m tightening the site copy and will keep replies brief, but in some cases provide links for longer. To keep both people who prefer brevity and depth happy. Take care. Johan.
