Thank you. Let me know your feedback.

Thank you. It is never too late and now you have all your journal entries to yourself forever :)

I really can’t believe this is going so far for a sentence in the post…

Like I said above that is your interpretation of the sentence. People can have their own. The sentence does not state a fact which is either true or false.

So this Thanksgiving, give your family the gift of memories that last forever!

This is what I was thinking when I wrote that. “give your family the gift of memories that last forever” you don’t even have to give them the instance software to use it. You start using it capturing your memories and thoughts where you have full control and ownership on your data which can last with you for decades rather than according to some third party company terms and policies etc.

At somepoint you can “if you want to” give all/some part of it to your kids/family. What is said above is how Journiv started https://journiv.com/blog/the-story-behind-journiv

My kids are growing faster than I can keep up. Every day brings a hundred tiny moments worth remembering: the first clumsy dance, the way they mangle a new word, the small family adventures I wish I could preserve forever. Like many parents, I wanted to capture these moments—not just for today, but so my kids could look back decades from now and see their childhood through my eyes.

Quoted text ^

Both Day One and Apple Journal, which this software is proudly positioned as an alternative to, marketed themselves on “personal” and “private”, not “for the family”.

Yes because even they can just easily give it away in Apple or Google play family sharing they want you to pay the subscription individually :)

And now I am out of this comment thread. I don’t think I will have the last word here so I will let you go next :)

YUNOhost looks interesting. I didn’t know about it. Thanks I will look into it. Is YUNOhost popular?

I am not sure where this thread is going. I don’t see it adding any value to the discussion or the project. If you have any specific feedback on how to make the project better. I will love to hear that.

I am also not sure how nitpicking on choice of word is helpful here. People can interpret things differently and above is your interpretation.

To provide context on why the post has that sentence:

• The major feature of this release is user management with RBAC.
• You might not have a use case where you use software with other family members but many do specifically in self hosted world where they self host for the family. See:
• https://github.com/journiv/journiv-app/issues/93
• https://github.com/journiv/journiv-app/issues/41
• https://github.com/journiv/journiv-app/issues/18
• https://github.com/journiv/journiv-app/issues/62 many more …
• Hence that sentence.
• Like I said you are reading too much into it. Its like a vegan having a problem with a billboard which says “Delicious meat” just because they don’t eat meat.

Thank you. Yes, at some point. It is totally doable but I haven’t had a chance to look into building standalone desktop apps yet. As of now it is possible to run this manually outside of docker: https://journiv.com/docs/installation/manual

You are reading too much into it… Happy thanksgiving!

Thank you. Immich integration is being built: More updates on immich community post : https://www.reddit.com/r/immich/comments/1p7g4t7/journiv_v010beta8_this_thanksgiving_give_your/

It is listed in the post. There are tons. Please visit the website you will see all the features which are present and also ones being added.

I tried silver bullet too. Problem with all note taking/knowledge management app are they are just that note taking app not Journaling app and miss all core aspect of journaling.

Cool. Makes sense. Can I request you to open a issue on github to track this? Thanks.

Thanks. Export will be added pretty soon. As of now you can export entries in PDF as that was one of the most requested feature. Since the beauty of self hosting is that all the data lives on your machine. You have it with you all the time. It is just a database (sqllite or postgres) and all your media files under a directory. Back up is pretty simple you just backup the docker volume or the bind mount directory which is standard for docker.

Although I do want to add a more human accessible export output which people who do not want to deal with db can use.

What kind of export would you like to see?

Thank you. Best of luck.

Thank you.

Thank you. Yes, desktop native app, mobile apps. All are planned and will come. Cross platform support was important to so people can run it on all platform. Hence the frontend is in Flutter which for most part is cross platform.

Although this so far have been hundreds of hours of work and there is much more upcoming to build it so as of now I am trying to make this project sustainable so I can continue working on it and it develops to the shape I want it to be.

Stay tuned!

Well one thing I know is no ads in the app :) Can’t stand them!

Awesome!

That is the answer I am seeking. If you have any suggestion/recommendation I will love to hear it.

Understood about docker. Yes, those are planned and on roadmap. Apps will be coming soon. But software takes effort and time and just to get it here I have put in hundreds of hours and there is much more to build. Currently my focus is to make the project sustainable so I can continue developing it.

Thanks.
