I was looking for a minimalistic reflection app — something light and clean. No need for an account, no subscriptions, no affirmations or advice. Just a place to write things down as they appear in my head. Plus, it feels safer knowing my reflections aren’t uploaded anywhere.
I couldn’t find anything simple enough, so I decided to create it myself over a weekend. Pure HTML/JS/CSS combined with the browser’s local IndexedDB. In the end, it took a weekend plus a couple of late evenings, but I’m glad it’s complete enough.
