Journal. is a simple app to solve a big problem: we have more content available online than ever, but fewer genuine connections. Through daily journal prompts delivered to everyone, journalers can make authentic conversation with friends new and old.
Hi everybody,
As a certified zoomer who experienced social media from the rise of Tumblr to the takeover of TikTok, I have long felt we're going in the wrong direction.
That's why I made Journal. It's a social experience that's based on letting you get to know your friends better, or ideally even discovering new ones! It has nothing to do with looks or likes.
With a once daily journal prompt, users write a brief reflection which allows them to access what others are saying on the same topic. You can discover journalers from around the world in the discovery tab, search for friends, and always access your journal entires from previous days through your archive.
It's a simple concept, but I think that's what we need right now. Hopefully you can tell me if/how I'm right or wrong!

Who hunted Journal.?
Journal. was hunted by Marc. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
