Dear Diary...

submission guidelines

UPDATED 30 AUG 2019

Posts should be about your own journey. The focus should be on what you tried, accomplished, learned, and/or plan to do.

Some good examples:

What I learned last week
Weekly Goals
Weeknotes
10 Days as a Software Developer

What Doesn't Belong

Posts NOT directly related to your experience.
Posts primarily promoting a project. (Tell us how you did it instead!)
Questions (use #help.)
Most discussion prompts (use #discuss). Journaling prompts encouraged, however!

👋 Sign in for the ability to sort posts by relevant, latest, or top.
