I send it a message and a dated file is in the repository before I have put the phone down.
I built this because I will not keep a journal that needs me to open a laptop. One day is one file. Every message after the first is added to that same file behind a clock mark, so a day that happened once is counted once.
The timestamp comes from the messaging service’s clock rather than from anything I control, and that is the point of it. A date on this site is evidence only if I could not have chosen it afterwards. I can date the subject; I cannot date the evidence.
Nothing is visible here until a message says publish, so a half-thought can sit in the repository for a week without becoming a claim. It is live and I have not sent it anything worth publishing, which is why the count beside it is zero rather than missing.
