Interesting! So you just create an all-day event with a note in the description? Never thought about that.

Thanks! Yes, “this day a year ago” would be cool! The app has only existed since January this year so I’ll look into it next year. :)

Export is my todo #1. Cheers!

Paper notebooks certainly have their place. It’s the same debate as paper books vs e-readers. I personally don’t like how my handwriting looks and also don’t want to carry more things around.

On my to do list! Thank you!

Good to know. Without a search function this tool becomes more of a write-only application ;-)

Blogged a lot on my phone during the day, then decided to sign up for the account. Stuff synched. A little later Logged in from chrome on my computer, got a blank page for the day. Checked back on my phone, and everything gone here also.

Did I mess up? Can I get the day back somehow? Could it happen again?


Oh no, that’s the worst that could happen in an app like this. Sorry about that! I’ll investigate and fix it asap.

Filed an issue here: https://github.com/katspaugh/ichinichi/issues/32


Fixed the bug + added the option to restore empty notes from local DB. It might not restore your note (apologies for that!) but this should never happen again.

Thanks for this larger-scale observation! I personally always feel a bit like a Lovecraft character writing those entries. :)

You can start using it right away without a password (it will generate a random one and use it only once to encrypt a DEK key). Once you create an account with a password, it re-encrypts your DEK and uploads it to Supabase (encrypted). Later on you only need to enter your password again if you sign out and want to sync with other devices.

I tried ProseMirror and Tiptap but typing in both felt slower than a vanilla contenteditable. Maybe it’s just a placebo effect. Also I’m trying out various experimental enhancements like if you type “+meditation” and press Enter, it will create a labeled section for you. Perhaps I should try CodeMirror as elxr suggested.

Ah, good point. I didn’t think about that. Good solution to make it rolling! I’ll look into it closer to the end of the year to self-test how both feel.

Thanks for the feedback!

I can see how the month widget can be not useful in the editor view. I’ll add an option to show only the editor and to remember that choice.
