@manton I’ve been trying to be more disciplined in that regard as well. My approach has been to use Drafts for personal journaling. I journal a few times a week, including notes from church, personal development classes, etc., in Markdown within Drafts, and then I post them to my website via a Drafts action I made using Micropub, with the “visibility” property set to “private.”
Private posts would be a lovely addition to Micro.blog! Perhaps another app, a-la Sunlit or Wavelength, could be built to drive personal journaling, including some Day One-Like features. You may even be able to convince Day One to sync with Micro.blog.
Just a thought!
