'feelin.today': an anonymous hourly mood tracker built by a solo founder
A built feelin.today after recognizing a relentless emotional loop — feeling unstoppable right after shipping a feature or seeing a new signup, then crashing into emptiness an hour later, then recovering with the next small win. The goal was to find out if other founders ride the same emotional swings, and to feel less alone in the process. The app is deliberately minimal: tap a number from 1 to 5 to log how you feel right now, and your dot appears live alongside everyone else's.
Data resets every hour, creating a rolling short-term mood journal. There are no accounts, no personal tracking, and no plans — it is a pure .
