@amanda_deng @stas_voronov we're planning to add an export feature soon so you can easily download and save your entries into any format you want! :)
Such a cool app! I can't get over the design, it's just so beautiful, simple, and sleek. The reflection prompts are really thought-provoking too.
Great extension. I love this idea and having it as an extension is easy and seamless. Making it very accessible. Is this something you would be looking at building out as a safari extension or releasing as an app on the Apple store?
Hey PH 👋
We're excited to share Ponder with the PH community today! Thanks @nickabouzeid for hunting us 😊
Since this January, we've been building a frictionless, shortcuts-based journaling experience built into your new tab on Chrome and Firefox (Safari coming soon).
✍ We built Ponder to get people right to journaling, without the mess of coming up with prompts, entering links, signing in, starting and saving entries, and even just clicking. Especially as the pandemic has forced many to be isolated and searching for ways to grapple with the new normal, we felt the need to give people a reflective outlet that doesn't add even more stress.
Ponder makes it easier to daily journal and capture snippets of your life in written form.
Today, Ponder lets you:
💭 Respond to thought-provoking prompts organized into categories — Daily Productivity, Daily Lists, Daily Reflection, Creative, Self-Reflection, Free-Write ...
🌱 Replace your new tab window with a beautiful page
⌨️ Use built-in keyboard shortcuts for a seamless writing experience
📵 Set gentle reminders to write daily when visiting unproductive websites
🔑 View password-enabled entries page and filter and search by category and content
☕ Enjoy aesthetic morning, afternoon, and evening backgrounds
❓Customize daily questions
✔️ Track writing streaks and analytics
If you're into journaling or want to start, we would love your feedback! We want to create an even easier and more seamless writing experience. Shoot us a note at help@getponder.app with any thoughts, and we'll happily respond 🥑
Happy journaling! 👍👊😁
Love it, so seamless. A much better option than the google forms option I was currently using xD.
This is exactly the tool that I never knew I needed until I found it! I can’t think of a better way to start a new chapter in my life than with daily reflection!
The UI/Design is top-notch, and the team behind it is even better from what I hear :)
Congrats on the launch!!
@lucious4 Thanks so much Lucious! We've definitely spent a ton of time iterating on UI, so happy to hear you like it!
this is amazing, congrats on the launch!! I have always found it hard to decide on what to write about when it comes to journaling. Love the thought provoking prompts. Congrats again!
@annie_hwang1 Thanks Annie! Yup, working on making these daily questions super insightful. Glad you like :)
I reaally like the use case and ui of the product! Definitely gonna try this out
@amanda_deng Already signed up, done with my day 1 journaling. As someone who hates writing, or even thinking what to write, this product is super duper useful to me. Feel free to get in touch with me for any sort of feedback, testing, help or so! I would absolutely love to contribute and help however I can! :D
I love this! I just wrote an article for a client about "journaling for mental health" and was thinking how useful a good digital tool would be. Looks like you were already on it!
@stef_histed Thanks Stef! Yes, definitely needs to be more digital options. Glad we're aligned on this vision.
Love this extension, it is so easy to use and aesthetic! I really enjoy how it allows me to focus on writing 😊
Love that this extension integrates journaling right into my day to day work! Ponder does a great job reminding me to set aside time to reflect and introspect while I’m completing tasks (or dare I say, procrastinating) on my computer.
@nancy_wang3 Thanks so much Nancy! Haha don't we all procrastinate. Ponder lets you "block" unproductive websites like Facebook, and Youtube until you finish journaling for the day as well. Maybe this can help ;)
Started using this a few days ago and I'm really enjoying it, thanks for creating @amanda_deng!
One bit of feedback - the signup page was challenging to navigate (too much info for me), and I struggle a bit with the settings page too. Wonder if you could make this cleaner?
@apuchitnis Working to clean the onboarding and settings, thanks for your feedback!
As someone not used to daily reflection, Ponder makes it super easy for me. Will definitely share with friends!
Super clean! Having it as an extension makes me feel like it isn't as disruptive to my normal workflows. Really love that it sets up UI blocks/reminders for unproductive website
@caitlinxyz Thanks Caitlin! Totally hear you on the extension piece as opposed to apps in general. Maybe one day, we'll move closer into the productivity space as well.
This is a must-have writing tool for creatives - easy to access and use, beautiful UI, and thoughtful about the journaling experience. You can track your progress, set reminders and secure your writing with a password. Most importantly, just seeing the app puts you into the mood for writing!
@annie_li3 Wow, we appreciate your super kind feedback. Definitely let us know if you have any must have features for our next version!
Ponder is so aesthetic!! And as someone who’s terrible at keeping a diary of any sort, I’ve found is super nice and easy to respond to a prompt each day because it’s at my fingertips and doesn’t require much additional work/reminding! There’s so much to love about this product!!
@jocelyn_yao Thanks for the feedback Jocelyn! Yes, I definitely feel you on how hard it is to keep a physical journal, I tried and failed so many times.
