Just went searching for something like this as my wife wanted to start a “journal”. The requirements were simple, private, nothing too crazy complicated to use, web interface, easy setup and tear down (in case she didn’t like it). Started up an instance of Ghost, way overkill, was looking at WriteFreely, stood up an instance of Bookstack. She’s trying it out now, nothing bad to report so far. The hierarchy is a bit confusing to grasp but when you put it in the context of something like shelve = My Journal, Book= 2023 Vacation or 2023 or Homeschooling, Chapters = 1st week of Vacation or First year Homeschool, Pages = Todays date. It started clicking with her a bit more. If you find something better, please report back!
Hey, I'm pretty much in the same boat. I like bookstack for its mature features but I wish there was something more tailored to shared journaling although that is a bit specific. Have you changed something?
Well she stopped using it so I deleted the instance (just too busy with small children). For the time that she was using it Bookstack seemed to have me her needs once a cohesive breakdown was established (translating Bookstack hierarchy and matching it up with her topics).
Oh, how unfortunate :(
But thanks for the update!
