    Hello HN!

    I've been working on Simple Journal for some time now. The concept came into being after I noticed more and more people picking up journaling. I became interested in the topic and started to research ways to make it easier to turn journaling into a habit. I'm an avid Duolingo user and I've always been very impressed with how they handle multi day streaks, and in particular, how well they worked for me in making a habit out of using Duolingo. So I added streaks to journaling and that concept turned into Simple Journal. After that I wanted a more granular control over the things I was tracking in my journaling, so I added a way to track and chart various types of activities.

    I hope you like it, do let me know what you think.
