Show HN: Emojielog – A simple emojie journal application

[amake]

It's "emoji", not "emojie".

[gobusto]

To be fair, you can break down 絵文字 as:

    e = 絵 = Picture
    moji = 文字 = Characters

...so you could interpret "emojielog" as "Picture-Character Picture Log".

(...the "Select a Emojie for today" text kinda disproves that this was the intention, though...)

I like this idea of a simple app for a personal log. This is definitely the minimum detail level that i can picture being remotely useful. As usual, how much can it be enhanced without ruining it?

I would like to be able to enter a custom emoji to log a broader range of emotions.

Will be expanding the emoji set.

Too bad it does not have a "stories" feature yet.

[Mechasparrow]

Oh well. There is a js lib for it. So I might add it for fun lol. Another side project I guess.

Strongly remided me of the daylio app (http://daylio.webflow.io/), which i'm using daily for pretty much that purpose

Apps like that make me think about vanity vs actionable metrics from Lean. What difference does it make if last week you were happy or not? Does it make you change your attitude or take a deeper look on what to do to improve it?

I don't get it

[sAbakumoff]

That's​ terrific that such a simple app require the js framework to be used!

[orschiro]

I miss the ability to describe my today's emotion with one keyword.

I surely can't get used to american dates. I thought "why do I score 4 out of 30"? Edit: Ok it's not american, but it's nevertheless confusing to me.

If I can only enter 1 of 3 emoji for a day (as I understand it) I don't think there should be two steps to entering that emoji (step 1 click +, step 2 click emoji)

[Mechasparrow]

I plan on expanding the emoji set.

Here's a fixed link at. http://emojilog.surge.sh

Would suggest to add a cookie to the newsletter form, it opens every time.

This is a good idea! I wonder what other simple data points people are willing to log

[Mechasparrow]

I wish I could edit the title of this post.
