Built a solo AI journaling app. here’s what I learned

Shipped JOVIO, an AI companion + journal app. A few honest takeaways:

Tone is a product decision. Too clinical feels cold. Too casual loses trust. Harder to nail than the code.

Simple is deceptively hard. The final UI required cutting 60% of what I originally built.

Warm AI responses take iteration. Getting it to feel human without feeling fake was its own challenge.

Live on iOS — would love feedback from builders on the AI interaction flow.
