Show HN: Anonymous platform for writing and discovering personal diary entries (inkwells.io)
4 points by reagantriminio 190 days ago
I wanted a place to say things I couldn't tell my friends or family—but I still wanted to be heard. So I made Inkwells.

This is a personal project I built for anonymous writing. You're identified only by a number on your diary. Otherwise there are no profiles or usernames at all. You can browse other people's entries, save inkwells you like, and even comment/react without any ties to your own personal diary.

Any comments, questions, or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I would also appreciate if you guys could point out any bugs, or features you find unintuitive.

I really liked the styling on the website. The concept itself is interesting, something about opening journal entries has a calming effect. Making it login only is a bit off-putting.
I agree with login only being a bit of a turn off. However, I'm not sure how to circumvent spam/harassment without logins. I'm also not too sure how to provide someone with an account they can access and update continually without a login. Do you have any suggestions?
I tried google it, but found only Ink Wells Live Print and On site experience Specialists website
