My Journal App Is Finally Live (Built by My Friend Nikola)

My Journal App Is Finally Live

For a long time I wanted a place where I could write my thoughts, post small updates, and keep track of things happening in my life.

Now I finally have it.

My own blogging app called Journal.

The interesting part is that the entire app was built by my friend
Nikola Filipovski from NFW Design Check out his portfolio here

And honestly, he deserves this first post.

I Had Zero Ideas 😅

When we first talked about the project, I realized something pretty quickly:

I had no real idea what I wanted.

No design ideas.
No layout ideas.
No feature ideas.

Basically I just said:

"I want something where I can write posts"

Nikola ended up designing everything himself, from the interface to the features, and somehow turned my vague idea into something much better than I imagined.

What the Journal App Can Do

He built a really beautiful blogging app with a full admin panel where I can easily write and manage posts.

But the coolest feature is the mood tracking system.

Every day I can:

- select what my mood is
- write a short note about the day
- store it in my calendar

On the homepage, the site shows the most common mood for the current month, which is a really nice touch.

Inside my admin panel I can also:

- view moods month by month
- check a calendar view
- click any specific day
- see the note and mood I left for that day

It’s honestly a great way to track how I'm feeling over time.

Great idea, king. 👑

He Even Hosted It For Me

Nikola didn’t just build the app.

He also:

- hosted the app for free
- created a bucket for uploads
- allowed me to upload images, videos, and audio files

Also completely free.

When he showed me the final result, I was honestly blown away.

That’s when I told him:

"My first post on this journal has to be about you."

So here we are.

The Price Actually Surprised Me

Out of curiosity I asked him what something like this would normally cost if I were a regular client.

He laughed and told me the price.

And honestly?

It's very affordable for a fully custom blogging app like this.

Of course the price would be a bit higher if you wanted:

- proper web hosting
- your own domain

But even then it’s still very reasonable for something like this.

If You Want Your Own Journal App

If you're interested in having your own blogging or journal app, you should definitely Contact NFW Design - Nikola Filipovski

He clearly knows what he’s doing.

And if this app is anything to judge by, you’ll probably end up with something even better than what you imagined.
