I think it would be great if the game also talked about various negative externalities at different points in the process (pollution, etc.). IMO would go a long way in making the game more well-rounded, and would add more varied content.

Not the first time Cloudflare has done this. Click around some of the docs for Realtime SFU, it's all AI slop. Hard to tell if anything is hallucinated or not. https://developers.cloudflare.com/realtime/sfu/sessions-trac...

The product is SHAPE brand Sheet Glass, and the product description says it is "for use in picture frames, replacement window panes, painting, and other crafts and household projects", which I figured was enough of an endorsement for this use case. Not safety glass, but maybe I'll swap it out if the whiteboard ends up getting a lot of use and I keep it around longer term. This is essentially a prototype, so definitely open to changing things as time goes on.

baseline is licensed under AGPL-3, and is also completely free to install and use through normal channels. It's run by a nonprofit, which gets its funding from grants.

Thank you! I totally get it; it's a hard habit to build. I highly recommend setting a notification or two throughout the day when you know you'll be free to help remind you :)

Thanks for the feedback!

You can journal whatever you want; it's freeform text. The quantitative tracking is technically just for mood (although it's a scale from -5 to 5, so theoretically, you can track whatever you want as long as it fits on that scale).

Hey HN! I recently released baseline, a journaling and mood tracking app for iOS, Android, and web. If you've been looking for a better journal, or just want to work on your mental health, you should check it out! It includes:

- Simple and fast journaling — just open the app and start typing.

- Visualizations to help you understand your progress over time.

- Screeners to help you better understand what you might be struggling with.

- Customizable notifications to help you build journaling into your daily routine.

- Strong privacy — personal data is encrypted with user-specific keys that I can’t access.

This app started as a personal project for my own mental health, and it really helped me out — so now here we are! Again, if you've wanted to try journaling or just want to start working on your mental health, I really recommend trying it out. I'll also be here all day to answer any questions y'all have. Thanks so much :)
