Day One Publish is a project I made to generate a static site from a Day One journal.
For some recent travel, I wanted a way to add photos each day for a small group of family and friends to see. A blog would work, but I wanted a great native editing experience, with particular focus on places we were visiting. Luckily Day One has gorgeous native apps and now allows shared journals, but there was no way to take a journal and publish it as a site.
The design is entirely inspired by the Day One app interface itself, so it feels native. View entries as a timeline, calendar, mosaic of photos, or on a map. I have it run nightly locally on my Mac, and it deploys via Coolify.
