Awesome!!
Does Journiv support collaborating on a journal with another user? Like a shared journal but both can edit it

Shared journals is a requested features: https://github.com/journiv/journiv-app/issues/62 Please upvote the issue so it can be prioritized better.
I started hosting this last week! So far I’m liking it for daily tracking. Def curious how long term will be but I def am enjoying this.
Thank you using Journiv. Please report and feature request or bugs on Github. Regarding how long term:
- It is very dependent on the support and sustainability the project gets from the community. So if you feel the project makes your life better and is valuable to you then definitely consider contributing and supporting it https://journiv.com/sponsors
- Journiv, core mission is to let users completely control their data and enable freedom to do whatever they wan't with it. So open data formats and robust export is being built from day one. Journiv-viewer (coming soon https://journiv.com/docs/guides/journiv-viewer#exporting-to-markdown) allow users to access their journiv export as HTML webpages completely client side and standalone HTML pages. So even if you don't have journiv instance running years down the line you have easy access to your journals. This viewer can also generate markdown export zips with frontmatter which can then be imported to any markdown viewer or note app which support markdown without any metadata loss.
Oh this is REALLY cool. I've been using Daylio for a long time, and this seems like it's aiming to be a great self hosted replacement!
So, multiple users can journal on their own accounts, or can you control who sees your entries?
This is such a neat idea. As a soon to be parent, I 100% understand the motive behind building it too. I can't wait to try it! :)
I can very much relate to the parent part. That is how Journiv was born actually :)
Thank you. Journiv can be used by multiple user on same instance. Journiv has been built with industry grade security practices (https://journiv.com/docs/configuration/security) and support user management (https://journiv.com/docs/configuration/user-management) with role based access control. If you are using with multiple user it is recommended to use postgres as the db over sqlite: https://journiv.com/docs/configuration/database
Journiv currently does not support shared journal where you can share your journal with other users in your instance. It is a requested feature so will be added https://github.com/journiv/journiv-app/issues/62
Nice app. Very intuitive and does not get in the way. I don't see the integrations tab in my settings like in the immich integration vid. I am very interested in that feature.
Thank you. Please report any issues or feedback on github. This post has details on current status of immich integration https://www.reddit.com/r/immich/comments/1p7g4t7/journiv_v010beta8_this_thanksgiving_give_your/ It will be coming soon. Stay tuned!
