- DJDlog – Journaling and AI coach that learns what drives wellbeing (Mac)Oct 2025 · dlog.pro · ▲47
Hi HN! I’m Johan. I built Dlog, a journaling app with an AI coach that tracks how your personality, daily experiences, and well-being connect over time. It’s based on my PhD research in entrepreneurial well-being. Edit: here's a video demo so you can see it before downloading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74C4P8I164M - it's unvarnished but I'm told that's how people like it here :) How Dlog works - Journal and set goals/projects; Dlog scores entries on-device (sentiment + narrative signals) and updates your personal model. - A built-in structural equation model (SEM)…

hi all, I've always wanted to make my own game, but couldn't afford a thousand-dollar adobe (flash+photoshop) license. I'm not a talented programmer, have no degree in CS. But I understand some elements of design. So I got me a copy of ImpactJS, and after about 5 months of steep learning curve (at least for me), I managed to come up with a game. I also integrated it with a highscore and badge system, similar to what you get at Kongregate. You need to login with Google/OpenID to earn badges/scores. link is: http://www.hotbazooka.com/privatejoe hope to hear some feedback/questions from you guys!

I remember seeing the Dragon Labs Dragonfish Glowing Form Demo[1] when it first came out, and it always stuck in my head. They implement the effect by using a rather large background image and a mask image and move the background image around via Javascript. I was inspired and wanted to see how close I could get with CSS3. I recommend using a Webkit browser [and you can see an alternate version of the animation on Firefox 4].
