にっきばと: A diary garden where entries hatch into birds
A Japanese browser-based social garden turns short diary entries into birds that can chat with birds born from other people’s diaries.
- For
- People who want a gentle shared diary ritual
- Worth noticing
- The farm tree grows once per resident’s first diary each day, no matter how many entries that person writes.
Field notes
The farm tree tracks participation on two timescales: it gains growth from each resident’s first diary of the day, while its leaves respond to the number of writers over the past three days. The page says the tree can reach full growth in about a month if everyone writes daily, and that it does not shrink once grown. Account settings also describe moving between devices with a six-character code and deleting an account along with its diaries, birds, and conversations.
