The product, in seven lines
the seven principles.
Not a mission statement. Seven non-negotiables — each one enforced in the code itself, so the product can never quietly drift away from them.
I
One entry per day.
Hard limit. After today’s entry is committed, the write box closes until tomorrow.
A day is the unit of an honest life. When you can only write once, you stop performing and start telling the truth — and you can never bury today under ten more posts.
II
My words only.
No AI writing, no rewriting, no prompts, no autocomplete, no grammar fixing. The blank page is the product.
Nothing here finishes your sentence for you. A thought a machine smoothed over was never really yours — and this is the one place that stays only yours.
III
No links, ever.
Any URL typed is auto-stripped. This is the bouncer against promotion and SEO spam.
The moment a diary can point somewhere else, it stops being a diary and starts being a billboard. We keep the door shut so the writing stays the reason you came.
IV
No algorithm.
The reading feed is newest-first or random — never ranked, trending, or scored.
Nothing here is engineered to keep you scrolling. Days arrive in the order they were lived, chosen by time — never by a machine deciding what will hook you next.
V
Anonymity protects honesty.
Real names are never shown. Everything public is under a chosen pseudonym.
You will write the truest things only to someone who can never sit across your dinner table. The pseudonym is what lets you be witnessed without being known.
VI
Three states for every entry: Private · Draft · Publish.
The writer always chooses how naked to be.
Some days are only for you. Some aren’t finished. Some are ready for strangers. You decide which is which, every single time.
VII
No vanity metrics.
No follower counts, no public like-counts, no leaderboards.
No number can tell you whether a day was worth living. The second writing becomes a scoreboard, it stops being honest — so we never keep score.
