   I live in Day One

   I have been using Day One since it was in beta. I am a writer and digital content specialist so I do a lot of writing. Day One has grown in capability and beauty since its inception -- I use it more and more everyday.

   To be frank, I tried to use EverNote but found to cumbersome and a bit much. For my mind, Day One provided the perfect palelette for me to sit down and write anything -- the tag it, or easily move it to another journal. It allows up to 10 journals, one of which I have synced to my Instagram, as I like to keep a record of what I post there.

   If you are writing daily, doing Morning Pages, if you blog and need a place to work on drafts, Day One's set up is so easy. It syncs over the cloud to your phone (I'm on Apple products, recognizes voice to text smoothly and allows images to be easily drag and dropped.

   The interface with tagging could be slightly more intuitive but the team is constantly doing updates and I am sure that will be worked out soon.

   I love it and recommend it to anyone writing.

   🏁 Competitors: Evernote, Scrivener, Microsoft Word, Google Docs

   👍 Pros:    Intuitive|Beautiful search experience|Instagram|Easy user interface|Inexpensive|Great for writers|Great value for the money

   👎 Cons:    Tagging needs to be made easier

• 0.2/article to listen on a podcast app a fair price?

  - I can charge based on number of words, or duration of converted audio, but I wanted to make it easier for my users, so I just charge base on number of article. And I also want to make it a peace of mind for users so I use one-off payment basis. Here are link to my product: https://sendtopod.com Would love to hear your thought on whether this is too expensive. And why do you think so?

• Bookmark an article, and listen to it later on your own Podcast Feed

  I also see AudioRead.com do this but text to speech is IMHO not pleasant enough to listen to for a long time. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Show HN: Better and 8x Cheaper Text-to-Speech Than AWS

  Honestly, I'm super happy that you found one voice arguable better than AWS. I might argue, though, you might get used to our voices quickly once you start using it frequently. I've had this feedback before from someone who was very used to AWS's monotonous voice, and he actually changed his opinion after listening to a couple of articles. Previously, I built https://audioread.com which got me to talk to a bunch... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

  Have you tried dayoneapp.com - its been a long time since I used it, it's more of an iOS app than Windows but I think it works on the web. Source: 6 months ago

• desperate for help

  I journal on and off but I find it difficult to get myself to make it stick as a habit. Physical journaling is tough sometimes because I'm not home etc etc... But I'm thinking of trying out the Day One journal. Source: 12 months ago

  There’s been journaling apps since iPhone came out, like the excellent Day One. Source: about 1 year ago

• What laptop and apps do you use to write?

  For general diary writing, I use Day One. It's clean, easy to use, and has no frills. You just...write. When I got it, it was one price but now it's a subscription for $2.99 a month. Source: about 1 year ago
