Journalistic

Nuxt.js Vue TypeScript Tailwind CSS Fastify Node.js SQLite Docker

Description

A self-hosted micro-journaling app inspired by Journalistic, rebuilt for self-hosting. Every interaction is designed to remove friction — bullets save automatically as you type. No formatting decisions, no folder structure, no distractions. Just write.

Everything lives in a single SQLite file you control. No cloud accounts, no subscriptions, no vendor lock-in. An optional Litestream sidecar replicates the file to S3-compatible storage continuously, giving you point-in-time recovery without running a separate database server.

Key Takeaways

• All data lives in a single SQLite file, with optional Litestream replication to S3-compatible storage for continuous backup.

• Reflect dashboard that resurfaces yesterday’s entry, memories from one year ago, weekly highlights, and random moments from the past.

• Inline #tags and @people with browse, group, and alias support.

• Location tagging with auto-captured weather via Open-Meteo, browsable on an interactive MapLibre map.

• Full PWA support with a three-layer cache (memory, localStorage, IndexedDB) for instant offline navigation.

• Optional Dreams, Wisdom, Ideas, and Notes modules that stay hidden until enabled.
