OI

osod.im (one sentence, one day - a one sentence journal)

I'm trying to get the motivation up to actually finish building out a "real" product, and I found myself needing a "win" to keep my momentum up. So, I hacked out a little one sentence journal app last night. I experimented with a few UI things (e.g.., the autosaving of the sentence for today and so on), so it was a good learning experience also. You can check it out at: http://osod.im

osod.im (one sentence, one day - a one sentence journal) launched on January 26, 2012 with 11 votes, #83 of 306 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches.

In plain words

osod.im is a minimalist journaling application that allows users to record one sentence per day. The app automatically saves entries and is designed for people seeking a simple, low-friction way to maintain a daily journal. Built as a quick project to explore UI concepts, it offers an accessible alternative to more complex journaling tools by stripping the practice down to its essentials.

  • HI

    I have been taking Andrew Ng's Machine Learning course. The lecture module on Neural Networks ends with an intriguing video of the ALVINN autonomous car driving itself along normal roads at CMU in the mid 90s. I was inspired by that video to see what I could build myself. A link to my incomplete write up was posted a couple of weeks ago (ouch!) but I finally finished it and open sourced the code tonight (so you can build your own self driving car). What do you think? http://blog.davidsingleton.org/nnrccar https://github.com/dps/nnrccar
