More Journal App Updates
I've been getting more into journaling lately, and as a result, I've continued to improve my little Journal app.
Iโve been getting more into journaling lately, and as a result, Iโve continued to improve my little Journal app.
My Journal started with humble beginnings, but as Iโve continued to improve it, itโs become a great little tool that I now use multiple times a day.
There were a few features I wanted to addโlike a stats page, a search option, and proper authentication so I didnโt have to rely on .htpasswd. Over the last few weeks, Iโve been chipping away at improvements, and I think itโs now pretty much feature complete. Hereโs what Iโve added:
- A stats page
- Search functionality
- Better code reusability
- Site-wide config options
- Config-based login protection
- Still runs on basic PHP and SQLite
Here are some screenshots of what the Journal looks like now:
This has been such a fun learning experience for me. Iโve hit a few snags along the way, but ChatGPT has helped me work through them. A lot of people bash AI, and I agree it shouldnโt be everywhere, but for use cases like this, itโs pretty damn great.
Anyway, if you want to check out a demo of the Journal app or host it yourself, here are some links:
