Inspiration
Julie Cameron wrote The Artist's Way, a book that is hailed as a guidebook for aspiring artists and writers. An essential practice there is the art of morning pages-- 3 pages of straight stream-of-consciousness thought. This practice has changed my life and helped me become much more introspective and aware of myself, a super valuable skill while surrounded by mass media and Generative AI.
What it does
My platform, only750words.us, allows you a private space to share your thoughts and journal. It tracks your word count each day, does thematic analysis of what your outlook and feelings, and what common words are for you. You can build streaks and earn badges for your consistency.
Why we built it
I had paid for a subscription service to a similar platform and thought to try making it my own, adding some features that made it more personal and user-friendly.
What we learned
My first ever hackathon :). Never thought I'd actually do it-- I'm from an education background, not programming!
What's next for just750words
We will implement a badge system and a community forum for writers to share motivating notes to each other upon reaching badge milestones.
