Show HN: I made a journal app for Founders and Makers (mindwave.app)

Maker here. I've been an entrepreneur for 20 years. I started all endeavors with learning as the primary goal. After selling my first company, two years ago, I gained some money and time (to travel). Great! But what about all my learnings and experiences? That's all in the back of my head, fading away.

Not documenting my entrepreneurial journeys is my biggest regret! So I build a journal for myself and for everyone who wants to capture their professional journey too.

I thought having a product- and startup blog was sufficient. I was wrong. "You are not your product!" I learned this the hard way. Your product evolves. Your startup evolves. You evolve.

Now I log, write, and document for me and the future me. No marketing purpose, no judgment. I keep most stories to myself, others I share with accountability partners, or even publicly for inspiration and support.

I think I got a solid basis now, with features like a private log, a personal writing space, and an integrated Telegram Bot. But there is still a lot to learn, build, and improve.

Looking forward to any feedback and questions.


I'm a user of this app and very happy so far. For me it helps having a moment in the day where I at least think about what went well or what didn't. I use the Telegram notifications where I get a daily reminder.

I'm using it now for a few months and I have my moments of using it a lot and some days none, but I feels great to be more aware of you life. Keep up the good work Marcel!


Please forgive the off topic question, but why is your user name on hacker news shown in color? I've never seen that before.


New users are green for a little while.


Monthly $10,00 Yearly $96,00

The pricing, especially the commas are peculiarly wrong


It can be quite confusing, but not everyone who uses English and Arabic numerals uses the decimal point for separating the whole part and the fractional part of a decimal number.

See the "decimal comma" related sections in this Wikipedia article, especially the "Examples of use" section:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator


Ah, you're so right! In my country we use a different way to present pricing. Going to fix that!
