![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In using Publish, I’ve realized that I see the service as an extension of Twitter for thoughts that are personal, but that I also want to share with my friends and followers online. In the iPhone app, published entries get blue date and published indicators to distinguish them from normal, private entries both on Day One for iPhone and Mac, there’s a filter to view published entries alone. There are several thoughtful touches in how services are integrated with Publish, such as custom icons and tweet embeds on the Publish webpage there are some limitations and rules for how Publish entries are shared on Twitter, Facebook, and Foursquare, which you can read about here. If you decide you want to stop sharing a published entry, you can do so from the iPhone app and remove the associated Publish page with one tap. Published entries are available at a special webpage, and only people who know the URL of an entry will be able to find it. Once you’ve created a Publish account from the iPhone app, a new bookmark icon in the bottom toolbar of a journal entry will let you bring up a screen to publish an entry to your public Day One Publish profile. “With Publish, you can write once, then share to multiple services – currently Facebook, Twitter, and Foursquare – really easily”.Įase of use does indeed remove a barrier to entry to start using Publish, which is effectively a web service and web app built into Day One. “I think the other thing users will like about Publish is the sheer convenience factor”, Paul Mayne, founder of Day One, told me this week. I’ve been testing Day One Publish for the past few weeks, and while I don’t think it’ll revolutionize the way people journal on iOS devices – the act of journaling is, ultimately, private – it provides a convenient and good-looking way to turn private entries into public webpages anyone can read. With Publish, launching today on Day One for iPhone, Bloom Built wants to allow Day One users to easily share individual journal entries publicly while retaining control of sharing options, stats, and privacy settings. Day One, an award-winning and MacStories-favorite journaling app for iOS and OS X, has traditionally focused on private, personal journaling: through the years, the app has received support for external integrations such as weather and location info, inline photo previews, and, more recently, motion activity data captured from the iPhone 5s, but under all that, the app has always been private with limited options for sharing. ![]()
