Features/In the evening
A quiet question,
when you pause.
Stop typing for a moment and a faint line fades in where you stopped: …and how did that feel? It’s a question, never a sentence you can accept. The moment you type, it’s gone.
How it works
It draws more out of you.
The page opens on “How was your day?” with the cursor in place. Ghost prompts help with what comes after.
01Only when you pause.
After about six seconds without typing, on a page that has words, one question fades in at the cursor in a faint colour. Only at the end of a line, so it never covers what you wrote.
02Gone the moment you type.
Any key sends it away. You can’t tab it in, click it in or accept it. Your page only ever holds the words you typed.
03Never twice in a row.
A small set of questions, picked at random and never the same twice in a row. At most one each time you pause.
04Yours to turn off.
Choose when you first open Daylily, and change your mind any time in Settings, under Writing & sealing. Off, the page stays perfectly quiet.
Questions that listenComing soon
A question about what you just wrote.
Turn on AI, with the provider you choose or a model on your own computer, and the question reacts to your words. It notices what you skipped past, asks what it meant to you, and gives you something to ponder before you go on. It sees only today’s page, and it still never writes a word.
Sam laughed at the umbrella thing until he had to sit down on the curb. I haven’t heard him laugh like that since the move.
…what do you think has been weighing on him since then?
Today: …and how did that feel?Soon: a question about Sam
What it isn’t
Questions, never sentences.
Today they come from a small set, picked at random. When questions start listening, only if you turn it on, they’ll still never write a word for you.
- Autocomplete. There is nothing to tab into your page.
- A rewrite, a summary or a grammar fix. Typos count, because they’re true.
- A chat. It asks once, then waits for you.
