Been seeing the posts pop up recently and I really like the look of your software, bookmarked for future
jrnlintegration possibilities.But what a missed opportunity to not have a Journiv Ahead in your second headline :)
Thank you. You are right. Journiv Ahead sounds way better :)
In your opinion, why should someone use this over something like Obsidian, especially if they already use Obsidian for journaling?
They don’t have to. As long as Obsidian or any tool is working for someone then that is what they should use.
But for many including me Obsidian is not a solution for journaling although I extensively use Obsidian for note taking. You can read why here
Looks fantastic! I’m going to install it on my cluster this coming week for sure. Didn’t see but is there any plan to support locations or routes? Having location data along with some basic plotting could make this perfect for travel journaling too, which I’d be interested in…
Thank you. Please provide any feedback on github issues.
Yes location, weather will be coming soon. There is existing feature request opened by the community for this. I am not sure what do you mean by routes. Can you provide more details as what such a feature will look like?
It looks really good, I’m definitely going to be spinning this up once I get a chance. Having OIDC right out the gate is a huge plus in my book!
Thank you. Looking forward to your feedback.
The setup wasn’t too bad but I did bang my head against the wall a little. The docs on your site have an incomplete callback uri (it’s missing the /auth/ part of the URL) and I didn’t notice at first (its right in your example env on github though). My only real complaint is I can’t seem to find a way to disable external signups but still allow OIDC auto provisioning.
All in all though, this is great and I can’t wait to use it more.
The documentation is fixed. The disable bit is by design. Once you disable signup all signups are disabled. You can still provision user in user management after logging in and then they can just sign up either through the password you set or OIDC. https://journiv.com/docs/configuration/user-management
I’ve used this the last 8 days and have really liked it. Takes away some of the friction to journaling.
Thank you. I am glad to hear.
Currently using obsidian, will check this out ASAP
