Show HN: A journaling service that runs over WhatsApp

Hey Hacker News,

I’m excited to share a tiny service that’s very close to my heart - Today Has Been.

Here’s how it works: We have a phone number that has WhatsApp Business API enabled. Your messages sent to this number (after you activate your free trial) are added to your journal. It’s a super light weight journaling service - no app download or registration is required.

We also send you a daily nudge asking “How did your day go?” and after you have a few posts we send you a random blast from the past.

Why I built it: I was an active user and fan of Ohlife - only journalling app that could make me write 100s of entries. So, when it shut down it left a hole in my life too (just like it did for Paul G - https://x.com/paulg/status/1216714155731890176). :)

“Today Has Been” is Ohlife on WhatsApp.

I’d love to hear your feedback and ideas. Please visit http://todayhasbeen.com and tap on Get Started. (Note: Works on WhatsApp only)

Also, if you have questions on using WhatsApp as a platform, I’m happy to chat.

Thank you!
