Hi everyone, I'm relatively new here. A few weeks ago I went through a complicated family situation, and I had no one to talk to about it. But I felt like I needed to get it off my chest. So I wrote a very intimate letter, saying all the things I didn't dare say out loud, and it helped me a lot. It was therapeutic, I'd say.
A couple of days later, once the storm had calmed down, an idea came to me. The thing is, I've been a web developer for about 3 years now, and I thought about creating a space – kind of like a social network or blog – where people could vent without pressure, without social noise, none of that. Just like a daily journal.
And that's what I've been working on for the past couple of weeks. So I'd like to know: does this sound interesting to you? Do you relate to anything I said? Do you think a site like this could help people? Anyway, I'm listening.
If it's too intimate to post on existing social media, IDK why I would post it on yet another website.
You're totally right. That's why I don't want to make another social network. The idea is more like a personal diary with an option for anonymous venting. The key difference: it's private by default, no public profiles, no followers, no post history. Each post is an anonymous island. And there would be a self-destruct option, like 'write and burn'. Just to let go of the weight, no likes, no digital identity. With that kind of extreme privacy, do you think it would make more sense?
Still requires trust that the people running the website won't misuse the data, and keep whatever they keep safe from hackers ...
