What it does
Loom is a journal that actually reads what you write. No mood scales. No emoji grids. You write — Loom detects your emotion and shifts its visual atmosphere to match. Calm turns teal. Joy glows warm. Anxiety pulses. After you write, an AI companion reflects with you, notices patterns, and asks questions a good friend would. Weekly insights surface themes you kept returning to. Built by a solo dev. Private by design — entries never leave your device unencrypted. Free (30 reflections/day). iOS.

I’d love feedback from the HN community:…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
