I created a free tool to journal over email with your friends. Would love feedback

Hey team,

I had an idea recently, about creating a way to both journal, and keep in touch with your friends. It works like this:

a. friends sign up
b. At the end of the day, you each receive an email asking about your day.
c. The next day, you get a group email, with what everyone wrote.

The idea here is:
a. Journal over email: This is the tool most of us already use. By integrating with it, we reduce friction and make it easy to keep the habit up
b. Share with friends: The summary email acts as a light touch point to engage with your close friends


I built this for my friends, and would love to give it to a larger audience. All the functionality is free. Right now, it's in very very rough beta. If you'd be up to test it, I would love for you to try the app! Would love your take on how the onboarding flow was, any feature suggestions, what you liked and didn't, etc

    Hey, quick question. If what I write goes public tomorrow, why wouldn't I write it to my friend's telegram or Whatsapp group today instead?

    But I like the idea though, sounds like a game but needs some extension of the idea to hook the users maybe. Maybe listing where I find groups to join?

      Whatsapp or telegram group could work! To get the same experience, I think it would need to have a bot -- something that sends each a personal message, then posts in the summary in the group).
