Show HN: Remi, the easiest way to remember every day (A journaling tool I made)
remijournal.com
I made Remi since I've always wanted to look back on old memories, but I'm too lazy to sit down and write a journal for a half hour each night. I tried recording voice notes, but they were too disorganized and hard to search.
It's still in very early beta, but I was hoping I could get some feedback and check that I'm headed in a good direction.
To use Remi, you can fill out the form on the site (it needs to know your phone number to work, but no credit card info necessary). Afterwards, you can add Remi as a contact on WhatsApp. You can then send Remi voice memos at various times of day to journal - feel free to ramble, since Remi will handle the organization for you.
Remi will ask questions to guide you through different reflections and gather stats to get a full picture of your day so that it can create a journal entry. You can also send up to four photos to store with the daily entry.
Each night at 4am, Remi will generate a journal page for you based on what you said in the conversation. You can view your page through your dashboard and make any edits or revisions you'd like. It will try to highlight any potentially misheard words or phrases to make revising easier.
By the way, all of your data on the database side is encrypted and not human readable. I have been working hard to make it as secure as possible since I have lots of my own private thoughts and memories in there.
I think that's about it. If any of you are interested in this sort of thing, I'd really appreciate it if you could try it out and let me know your thoughts! Thanks so much in advance!
