Response from developer

This is not an accurate characterization. Could you please elaborate? This app is built by humans (primarily me), for humans who are tired of social media and algorithms.

Way better

I am so glad I found this app. I kind of liked Journal and kind of liked Dayone but they were missing something. This app is exactly what’s missing! This makes me want to journal!
