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.

In plain words
Today Has Been is a journaling service accessible through WhatsApp that requires no app download or registration. Users message a WhatsApp Business number to add entries to their journal, receive daily prompts asking about their day, and get occasional reminders of past entries. It's designed for people who want lightweight journaling without the friction of traditional apps, inspired by the now-defunct Ohlife service.

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!
