What is Q&A a Day?
Q&A a Day is a year-long self-reflection journal. Every calendar date comes with one fixed, thoughtful question. You answer it once today, then next year on the same date, you'll see your old answer right alongside your new one. This creates a powerful 'then vs. now' mirror: you see exactly how you've changed, what you've learned, and what matters to you. All entries stay private in your browser.
How to use it
The 'Today' tab shows today's question front and center with a text area to write your answer. It auto-saves as you type. Switch to the 'Calendar' tab to browse any date and edit past answers—or even write ahead for future dates. The 'Journal' tab lets you search your entire history and filter by year. Use the 'Settings' tab to back up your entries (download a JSON file), restore from a backup, or reset everything. That's it—simple and private.
Why answer the same question daily?
Repeating the same question year after year teaches you about yourself at a deeper level. Your answer evolves: your priorities shift, your worldview grows, your understanding deepens. When you look back at what you wrote a year ago, you see your own progress made tangible. The habit builds slowly—one answer a day—but after a year, you've created a precious record of who you are and how you're becoming.
When to use it
When you want to briefly look back on your day as it winds down, when you want to compare who you are on the same day each year (a New Year, a birthday), when you want a steady record of your thoughts for a reflection or a personal statement, or when you want to build a mind-settling habit like a gratitude journal.
Tips
There's no right answer, so what matters is leaving something every day, even a short line. Answers are stored only in this browser, so they disappear if you switch devices or clear your browser data—export a backup regularly from the Settings tab. Writing while looking at last year's answer for the same day makes the change easier to see.
