Looks fantastic! I’m going to install it on my cluster this coming week for sure. Didn’t see but is there any plan to support locations or routes? Having location data along with some basic plotting could make this perfect for travel journaling too, which I’d be interested in..

Thank you. Please provide any feedback on github issues.

Yes location, weather will be coming soon. There is existing feature request opened by the community for this. I am not sure what do you mean by routes. Can you provide more details as what such a feature will look like?

I've used this the last 8 days and have really liked it. Takes away some of the friction to journaling.

[-] rockstar1215@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Thank you. I am glad to hear.

In your opinion, why should someone use this over something like Obsidian, especially if they already use Obsidian for journaling?

[-] rockstar1215@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

They don't have to. As long as Obsidian or any tool is working for someone then that is what they should use.

But for many including me Obsidian is not a solution for journaling although I extensively use Obsidian for note taking. You can read why here

It looks really good, I'm definitely going to be spinning this up once I get a chance. Having OIDC right out the gate is a huge plus in my book!

[-] rockstar1215@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Thank you. Looking forward to your feedback.

Been seeing the posts pop up recently and I really like the look of your software, bookmarked for future jrnl integration possibilities.

But what a missed opportunity to not have a Journiv Ahead in your second headline :)

[-] rockstar1215@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Thank you. You are right. Journiv Ahead sounds way better :)

Been using it for a couple weeks and love it!

[-] rockstar1215@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Thank you. I am glad you like it.

[-] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Currently using obsidian, will check this out ASAP

[-] rockstar1215@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Thank you. Please provide feedback on github issues.
