For everyone thinking about a new year journaling habit ...
dailyjournal.party is a tool I built after getting frustrated with how bulky it was to carry around a 90 day planner like https://monkmanual.com/ or a yearly planner like https://dailygreatness.co/.
It provides a printable two-sided journal for A4 or letter paper. Each day has a morning planning page and a nighttime reflect/gratitude page. Each week and month also has the same. These are inserted when the timerange crosses a week or month bondary.
I try to print one of these per week, usually on a sunday so I start the week with a weekly planner.
The idea of these is to be disposable (if you want) so the thoughts and feelings recorded in them don't have the same 'blank journal paralysis' that can occur with a big heavy book. If you want to go back and review them, just save them in a box, if you don't, throw them out at the end of the week.
The site allows for customizing the questions, and your changes are saved in localstorage.
The printable layout isn't as perfect as I'd like, in particular the dotted lines don't perfectly fit in the boxes - it's all done with html/css tricks to make it fast to iterate, generate and preview, as well as to take advantage of how good css is at filling grids. I built a version with LaTeX that was beautiful but a pain.
Shhhh don't tell anyone I also completely rebuilt that tool from the ground up earlier this year ;-) (it looks roughly the same as it did before, but has a million tweaks to make the development lifecycle more pleasant)
I've been meaning to put together a more technical blog post about the various geo pieces that we've released at foursquare. But for now, here's one that's an overview of the things we've been working on: http://engineering.foursquare.com/2013/06/11/quattroshapes-a...
The biggest piece is http://twofishes.net/, our coarse (city/neighborhood level) geocoder based on geonames data. It also serves as our coarse reverse geocoder when we combine it with polygon data, which we've released at http://quattroshapes.com/, as a combination of open government data and synthesized data.
http://zetashapes.com/ is a side project of ours, where we're seeing if people want to draw their own crowdsourced neighborhood boundaries in US by coloring in a map of basically city blocks.
I'm always eager to chat about open geodata as well as complimentary commercial solutions.
