That's (in my view) also not the point of journaling, but rather to blow off some steam and digest internal dialogue.

It might be interesting to have some of the "commenters" challenge or critique, as an option?

Yes definitely, I'd love to have a balance of empathy and alternative perspectives

Do the commenters reply to things now? It might be nice to have personas that usually reply, others that reply rarely, etc, and that way you might get long discussion chains, or drive-by comments, or anything in between.

Very interesting idea, in general!
