   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

  Well done! it’s cross platform. I can see this be used as a geek-friendly Day One [1]. [1] https://dayoneapp.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Looking for a windows app

  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: 5 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: 11 months ago

  There’s been journaling apps since iPhone came out, like the excellent Day One. Source: 11 months 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: 11 months ago

• Concrete.css

  I had been using similar projects such as skeleton[0] and milligram[1] for small experiments such as repfl[2], and wanted to create something similar that I would find aesthetically pleasing and that would fit in as little space as possible. The current version of concrete.css is less than 1kb minzipped! [0] http://getskeleton.com/ [1] https://milligram.io/ [2] https://repfl.ch/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Super simple alternative to bootstrap for just the grid system?

  Try this out. This is great for really simple projects. https://milligram.io. Source: 11 months ago

• Show HN: Neat, the Minimalist CSS Framework

  Thanks for sharing, I love minimalist CSS frameworks that are easy to digest. My go-to for the past ~5 years has been https://milligram.io -- mainly for the grid and basic styling -- although, the author hasn't updated it in a few years. I'm going to give yours a shot! - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Milligram CSS: Custom build (with Node.js 18 on Alpine Linux 3.17)

  Do you know about Milligram, a "minimalist CSS framework" ? It's, in accordance with the name, lightweight like feather, and, in addition, beautiful. It is developed "to design fast and clean websites". - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• I want to make a website for myself

  I’d also recommend using a CSS framework, to spare yourself the frustration of either trying to tinker with the nitty gritty until things finally look OK or alternatively having to deal with looking at an ugly website the whole time. Milligram is a good starting point here that makes your website look OK literally by just adding one line, Tailwind is more involved to get started with but for me the easiest to use...
