  A journaling service that runs over WhatsApp2024 · todayhasbeen.com · ▲126

  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…

  Kuvasz – an open-source uptime and SSL monitoring service2025 · kuvasz-uptime.dev · ▲29

  A few months ago I took out my side project - an uptime & SSL monitoring service - from the drawer. I've decided to give it a new life and completely overhauled it, added a lot of new feature, and most importantly, a UI. Highlights - configurable uptime & SSL monitoring - Telegram, Slack, PagerDuty & E-mail notifications (more to come!) - fully-fledged REST API - a responsive, modern & fast UI - monitors are optionally configurable via a single YAML file, or you can choose to use either the UI or the API to maintain them - Cloud-native, distributed as amd64 and arm64 images - Only one…

  Talanoa▲341

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
