Hey, thank you very much for trying the app, it means a lot.
1- There is no automatic email confirmation for now, I verify the accounts manually and I can do that today.
2- The free can do everything but is just for 7 days, then the subscription is required.
About the other things, I think I can work on that onboarding experience to make it better, definetly, but I do want to touch on that journal question being "flimsy". I get what you are saying and I feel the same. The reason is those were made with an LLM based on some personal questions I had, but I hope in the future we could have a good list of good prompts qurated by the community. For me nothing like a good prompt, I feel special when someone wants me to express something, but anyway, I can do a cleanup there to avoid the more weird prompts you know. Thanks again.
Well I do that frequently, as you can tell by the post actually I forgot to clean that LLM response lol... But honestly I tried many LLMs, Claude is my go to choice, I tried creating projects and so on, but it's just like Apple Notes, I don't feel it scales or that later I can actually do something with that content, those apps are not ready for that, they are more generic, don't you think?
That information should be only for you. My information is for me only. This is not only for privacy but to avoid performative content as well. What I did in the app is that it shows you daily prompts, and you can answer to them, so those prompts are public and can be made by the community, I like the idea of knowing as a community what other people are writing about, or what are they responding to, to be more precise. As a general overview of what are the questions that society is drawn to lately for example. But the idea is the responses are just for you.
This is a key question. I'm still reflecting about it.
TLDR. Is a sensitive subject that needs to be well thought.
So when I journal manually in a book, I trust that I'm going to be the only person reading it. When I journal digitally is a bit different, in this case I trust the app because I made it myself for my own needs, but I wonder how to transmit that trust to the user. Encryption can be the way to go, I know there are different ways of implementing that, maybe optional encription in some places or some texts, but then if the users loosses the password then that content is gone forever, and also there could be say if we want to add some functionality to work with those pieces of text, if it's encrypted the backend would not be able to do things like filtering and so on...
