   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

  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

• 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

• What would you do if you were pretty good at webdev, needed to make $2k in the next month, but didn't have the work experience, or the mental health to hold a regular job?

  The most successful one I have right now is writing streak. The old version of the app grew to 5000+ users mostly via word of mouth. I don't think many of them were very active, since I didn't do a good job supporting and debugging the app (because of my health stuff, and also some character flaws I guess). But it did have a few users who used it daily for hundreds of days in a row. Source: about 2 years ago
