Daily Group Journal with Writing Prompts

Paul Graham asked about a service that prompts you to keep a daily journal through email.

For some reason, this reminded me of a company I read about called StoryWorth that tries to elicit family memories through email prompts. The founder started with a daily journal text bot, then shifted to question prompts through weekly emails, which they bundle into a book at the end of the year.

I was more interested in the daily journal aspect, along with getting to read replies from family and friends. So something of a daily group journal.

Paul mentioned he funded a company called, OhLife that shut down.

I tried to figure out what happened and stumbled on a Quora question about OhLife alternatives. It turns out a bunch of people missed OhLife and built their own thing. Here are some of them from Quora and the Twitter thread.

Diary Email

Send an email to an address, replies collected in a web journal. Works with groups! $0-39 a year depending on group size.

DAYJOT

daily minded

Others

There are a bunch of daily standup meeting team solutions that could get the job done too - Friday, Basecamp, Geekbot, Status Hero, Know Your Team, i done this, Humble Dot.

Conclusion

This is a crowded space. Diary Email looks close to what I want. I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.
