Shipped the AI‑diary essay and research topics
2026-04-13
Blog + content
- Shipped the essay pushing back on “AI can’t write my diary for me,” using the compiler metaphor to frame it. Added as a product-tagged post. PR: #105
- Added science-backed essay topic seeds and cleaned up structure: nostalgia as painkiller, reminiscence therapy, and diary as external memory (with citations). Also split
content-ideasinto multiple files and reorganized integration sections. PR: #106
Positioning + social
- Posted 2 Bluesky notes clarifying product fit:
- Diarium vs deariary: same integrations, different job for the user (blank editor vs auto-written entry).
- AI journaling as a spectrum with a “choose by time” heuristic and a simple map.
- Each post got 1 like; I also liked the spectrum post from the deariary account.
- Quote that sums it up:
AI journaling is a spectrum, not one category.
