Simple journaling with encrypted entries and sharing capabilities.
Deploy this app to Linode with a free $100 credit!
In a nutshell: a private self-hosted journal with sharing capabilities.
This project is an attempt to make myself journal more consistently. I find it much easier to gather my thoughts with a keyboard. Having an online journal also means that I don't need to remember to bring it with me everywhere. The app is meant to be used by 1 person, and you can host easily your own instance.
The app was designed by Iana Noda.
The best journaling often happens early in the morning or late at night. To accomodate this, the entire app has been designed in "dark mode".
After writing, sometimes we want to share our thoughts with someone else. You'll have the option of sharing publicly on a blog-like feed or sending a secret link to individuals you choose.
Journaling prompts can help kick-start writing on days where we just can't think of anything to write about. There is short list of prompts that will be seeded automatically but the list is completely customizable.
Since journals can be very private, we want to be extra careful with its contents. All journal entry titles/content and prompts are encrypted at the database level using aes256 encryption.
As an optional additional layer of protection, get an email alert whenever there is a login event.
In case you want to journal while on the go, the entire app is mobile friendly.
bundle exec rails c to run Rails consoleUser.create!(username: "...", password: "...") The username and password will be hashed.User.first.update!(username: "...", password: "...")I'd recommend using Heroku since it's super simple (and free) to deploy a Rails app. Keep it awake with my Heroku Pinger! Once your instance is deployed, do the "Creating a user" steps above after spinning up Heroku's console.
Feel free to use this however you'd like! If you use this, credit would be nice but I don't really care that much. I'm primarily maintaining this for my own use, so I won't be very responsive to issues submitted. I will accept useful pull requests.
