24 alternatives to A living wall of life goals and deathbed regrets

Answer the question "Before I die, I want to..." and post it to the wall. I built this as part of a journaling app I’m working on as a side project. Personally I find life goals fascinating - they're the things we think will make us feel the happiest and the most fulfilled, yet often people think they won't achieve them. I have tried to make it feel atmospheric with the goal of making you stop and think about your own life for a second.

A living wall of life goals and deathbed regrets is a journaling tool where users answer "Before I die, I want to..." and share their responses on a communal wall. Built as part of a larger journaling app project, it… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

    Life Note▲467

    I'm excited to share Life Note with you. I'm the maker and have spent the last seven months working on it. Inspired by Tim Urban's Life Calendar idea, I wanted to create something to help people make better life decisions at pivotal moments. After a few pivots, our users' favorite feature turned out to be journaling with AI Mentors, leading to the creation of "1,000 Great Minds." I've experimented extensively with prompt engineering to make AI Mentors' responses personal and valuable through techniques like chain prompting, conditional prompting, and personalized prompting. I believe it's…

    Hi HN! I just launched Rocket Journal, a voice-first journaling app designed to make reflection as easy as talking. Key ideas: Rant mode — vent freely, no judgment Reflect mode — guided prompts to help dig deeper AI insights — mood tracking, patterns, helpful takeaways Stickers & scrapbook — journaling feels lighter and fun Privacy-first — your data isn’t used to train models I built this because journaling apps often feel like “work.” I wanted something that felt like having a safe, responsive companion for those late-night thoughts or walks outside. I’d love feedback from the HN community:…

    Hi! I'm launching https://intentions.life, a calendar designed for small habits. I used Google Calendar for 6 years, but found it hard to put small habits there, because everything takes up at least 15 minutes worth of space. It was one of the reasons my health deteriorated whenever I was too focused on writing code and talking to users for my startup. So since 2022, I spent my holidays building intentions.life. It lets me configure all my habits/chores in one place, and display them as compact bullet points. You can see the in-depth demos without logging in, and use the…

    Journaling is a great practice to learn more about yourself - if done daily. I tried it multiple times and couldn't stick to it. This project is how I finally fixed it for myself. It works by eliminating my excuses. There is only one question a day that I'll answer - no time spent on "finding the perfect topic". I only need to go to the page - not find my notebook or create a new note/paragraph in another app. I only left myself a relatively small input area, less than a page in a small notebook - that way the commitment doesn't feel too big. I really enjoy the process and it has become…

    I initially released this as just an IOS app. Since then it has been growing steadily but a lot of people have emailed asking for a web / android version. It took me nearly 2 months to build a version for the web. The nice thing about using Convex as my backend is that all the data is always synced between the app and web. I do not have to setup any syncing logic. The moment you change something in the app, it will reflect on the web version in realtime. I know there are loads of these kind of tools online but it's starting to feel like mine is actually starting to differentiate itself…

    To fellow dreamers & doers - I'm happy to share a big part of what I'd been tinkering with/thinking about for some time. In a world dominated by perfect curated lives, we created Feel, a text & audio, space to capture life as it truly is. A cozy and private corner to chronicle memories and explore ideas, make plans, capture the moments and feelings, or simply a way to come back home every day. Here is the new social, to help you ponder what really matters to you. Not open for prime time yet,but would love to hear your suggestions and thoughts welcome. A fellow traveller
