Self Hosted Journaling
I really like this journal app from Kev Quirk. I saw it in the list on his projects page. It's another simple and easy-to-us-and-deploy php app.
It's easy to use from wherever I am since it works well on web and mobile web. Makes it easy to just jot stuff down whenever I get a minute of free time. I like the basic mood tracking and the tags functionality and how they work well with the stats page. It will be a while before I can use the "On This Day" feature but hopefully I'll continue to use this for that long.
That does beg the question of redundancy since even though this is self hosted the VPS or provider or whatever may go away for any reason. So having a backup would be nice. Since this is using a simple sqlite.db file it makes it simple to backup somewhere (probably github repo) but I need to figure out how to trigger that somehow.
I think I can use this technique on this blog deployed with Pure Blog and configure my /content/posts directory as a git repo and use the hooks functionality in Pure Blog to trigger a commit and push when the new post event is fired. That will protect me in even of disaster.
