The essay makes this central claim but then spends most of the time talking about writing leading to better thinking (which I think is well proven). Does anyone know of research that backs up the main thesis? "Reading about x doesn&#x2

This is my attempt to solve the problem of sites becoming unavailable when they make it to the HN front page. It is also a trial balloon for a new service that I am developing. AMA! :)

Thanks for the feedback! We are split on whether we should exclusive make it a habit-building app. Lots of people use the app just for logging. Goal setting would definitely make it more useful - we have to figure out how to implement it wi

Patrick, what service are you planning to use for billing (presumably recurring)?
