I don't get it

It's "emoji", not "emojie".

gobusto• 9 years ago

To be fair, you can break down 絵文字 as:

    e = 絵 = Picture
    moji = 文字 = Characters

...so you could interpret "emojielog" as "Picture-Character Picture Log".

(...the "Select a Emojie for today" text kinda disproves that this was the intention, though...)

or just emoji e-log as emoji electronic log

amake2• 9 years ago

I am aware of the etymology of emoji; I think your interpretation goes well beyond "fair", all the way to "wildly reaching". It also doesn't explain the "emojie" in "a simple emojie journal" unless you want to make a case for "picture-character picture".

Thanks for bringing it up. I will make sure to make the spelling changes :)

I miss the ability to describe my today's emotion with one keyword.

shotgungg• 9 years ago

This is a good idea! I wonder what other simple data points people are willing to log

mvdwoord• 9 years ago

Too bad it does not have a "stories" feature yet.

Mechasparrow8• 9 years ago

Oh well. There is a js lib for it. So I might add it for fun lol. Another side project I guess.

SnapEmoji. Anyone up for it XD

I like this idea of a simple app for a personal log. This is definitely the minimum detail level that i can picture being remotely useful. As usual, how much can it be enhanced without ruining it?

I would like to be able to enter a custom emoji to log a broader range of emotions.

Will be expanding the emoji set.

Strongly remided me of the daylio app (http://daylio.webflow.io/), which i'm using daily for pretty much that purpose

Apps like that make me think about vanity vs actionable metrics from Lean. What difference does it make if last week you were happy or not? Does it make you change your attitude or take a deeper look on what to do to improve it?

I was just thinking if this were more medically focused it would be good for me. I'm supposed to get a medical journal to track certain things until my next dr visit. If I could just open the app and click on an item to log it that would sure beat having to enter a text somewhere.

Especially useful would be exporting all this as a csv file.

That's terrific that such a simple app require the js framework to be used!

bryanrasmussen• 9 years ago

If I can only enter 1 of 3 emoji for a day (as I understand it) I don't think there should be two steps to entering that emoji (step 1 click +, step 2 click emoji)

Mechasparrow8• 9 years ago

I plan on expanding the emoji set.

I surely can't get used to american dates. I thought "why do I score 4 out of 30"? Edit: Ok it's not american, but it's nevertheless confusing to me.

I wish I could edit the title of this post.
