Seasons Journaling v1.4 is now live in the App Store! Journal prompts has been a feature we have talked about for a while, and we could not be happier to have an initial version of it in front of our users.
Our mission, as always, is to help people live healthier and happier lives through writing and reflection. While we encourage everyone to write candidly, we believe that answering prompts can help facilitate deeper introspection and as a result, more meaningful growth. Additionally, there are times when we all experience writer’s block, and we hope that prompts can help jump start writing on those occasions.
Engineering summary - created a new db table and associated a prompt to their respective journal entry. Created a new api endpoint to generate a random prompt on button tap. UI was a little tricky, working with constraint priorities and various states.
Not to be forgotten - this build also includes the app store rating/review alert. There is a threshold for how many app loads before it gets presented. Hoping we can start accumulating more positive reviews!
Going to do another marketing push (startup directories, subreddit posts and also reaching out to some journaling youtubers, all while continuing to try and figure out apple search ads). We'll see how it goes!
As usual, please do not hesitate to let us know what you think! Thanks!
