Day 5 — the final day of my journal posting challenge 💙
Over the past few days, I’ve shared little pieces of my life through this journal: exciting moments, anxious moments, memories, reflections, and even a very important zucchini update 🥒✨
When I started building this project, I wanted to create a space that would make self-reflection feel a little easier and a little more enjoyable. I hope both this product and my own experience have inspired at least a few people to try journaling, pay attention to their thoughts, and build a habit of reflecting on their days.
Today I’m waiting for the Makeathon results, and honestly, it feels both exciting and terrifying at the same time. 🤞

thank you!
This was a really interesting project!
Thank you! 🌿 It was definitely one of the most interesting projects I’ve worked on as well — I learned so much while building it. ✨
That's awesome, Diana I really love to whatch how you fill pages every day, and the fact that this product is real and can collect data from previous days just mindblowing 😍 🔥
Thank you so much! 🥹 I’m really happy you’re enjoying the daily page updates. Seeing your journal grow over time and being able to look back at previous days was one of the features I was most excited about creating 🌱✨
That's amazing! Thank you for sharing such a well crafted product and your daily process 🙌 Your product really helps to make self-reflection feel easier and enjoyable 😍 🔥
Thank you! 🌼 Sharing the journey day by day has been such a fun part of the experience. It makes me really happy to hear that the product makes self-reflection feel more approachable and enjoyable 💛
Huge congratulations on finishing the challenge! 🥳 The journal interface looks incredibly gentle, clean, and genuinely inviting—perfect for a mindful reflection practice. Keeping my fingers crossed for the Makeathon results! 🤞💙
Thank you so much! 🌷 Finishing the challenge feels a little bittersweet, but I’m really glad I shared the journey. And thank you for keeping your fingers crossed for the results, it means a lot to have such kind support behind me 💙
Building in public is hard. Building in public while being honest about excitement, anxiety, and uncertainty is even harder. Thank you for sharing the journey. 💙
Thank you for saying that 💙 Sharing the project was honestly much scarier than building it at times, but seeing all the support and conversations that came from it made it completely worth it. 🌱
Such a beautiful way to turn self-reflection into something tangible. I especially love how personal moments became part of the product story - it makes the project feel much more authentic and human. Good luck with the results 💙✨
Thank you so much! 🌷 I’m really glad the personal side of the project came through. Sharing my own experience felt a little vulnerable, but I think it helped make the story more genuine. Thank you for the kind wishes 💙
Your work is pure eye candy! 💎
Aww, thank you! 💎 That’s such a sweet compliment. I’m glad it was enjoyable to look at as well as to explore ✨
I’ve been using it over the last few days, and it genuinely feels thoughtful and easy to stick with. The scrapbook-like style makes journaling feel much less intimidating and more enjoyable. Wishing you the best of luck with the Makeathon results — you’ve built something really nice here. 💙
Wow, thank you for actually spending time with it and coming back to share your experience 💙 Hearing that you’ve been using it for a few days and still enjoy it means so much to me. That’s exactly what I hoped for — something that feels easy to return to rather than another task on a to-do list. 🌿
Best of luck today, you did so well with your journal and challenge! I'd be so excited if I designed such a cool thing! GirlyYy aestheticsSs journals were my favourite when I was a kid — I was grumpy and I still couldn't resist :)
Aww, thank you so much! 🥹🌸 Honestly, that’s probably why I ended up making this project, I was obsessed with all kinds of journals as a kid. I had friendship questionnaires, sketch journals, and entire albums dedicated to collecting stickers 😄 So I guess this project is a...
Fun fact: as a kid, I once cut myself out of a bunch of printed photos to make a scrapbook with my friend. The photos existed in only one copy… let’s just say my parents were not impressed 😂📸
You're very welcome! :)) Friendship questionnaire omg *mEmOrIeS*....... You overstepped my obsession a bit, but not too much (I didn't draw too much as a kid, so no sketch journals, not too many albums as well). The funniest part is I almost NEVER wrote or drew in any one of...
Constantly inspired by your work 😍 😍 😍
Thank you! It's not only a useful tool. The way you presented this project here also builds a great deal of trust with the community. And it's brave to be open and sincere ❤️
LOved It.
Memorable 😍

A fuller look at the brand identity work we for Vetti, a dog health monitoring brand.
The connected dots carry through the whole identity. They form the mark, expand into patterns and give the campaign a recognisable language of its own. Sometimes they fill the layout.
Paired with warm orange and cream the system has room for both the technology and the dogs it’s there for.
Looks very nice welldone
Sometimes it’s hard to visualise data clearly without overwhelming users, but that’s what we aim for.
A snippet from daily design explorations using Magicpath and Figma.
The chart keeps the progress story legible without turning the dashboard into a wall of metrics. The bright gradient is a bold backdrop, while the centered white card gives the key numbers a clear focal point.
Congratulations brother! 🎉 This is the kind of success I’m working towards too. One step at a time. 🚀
