Show HN: A daily question to train positive thinking and boost your mood

Hi HN! I built this a few years ago, but after seeing super-negative headlines and newsfeeds everywhere I decided to re-launch it recently.

This is a super-simple RN app that asks you a daily question to lift your spirits, frame positive thoughts, and boost your mood. It's meant to lower the bar-to-entry to gratitude journaling.

There's 2 other big apps out there on the app store, but they seemed to have quite a few features and not the right framing for me. Mindfulness was not really my goal, optimism more so. I built it for personal use, but a few friends have started using it too so thought I'd share here.

No real big plans behind this - it's a side project, but I'm curious if there's a need out there.

Please let me know your thoughts, and give it a spin!
