Summary

My Space is a small, working diary app built in a few days as a side project. It has accounts, posting, comments, and privacy settings, but no payment path, no distinctive edge, and no updates since August 2024. The creator calls it a side project, which fits what the evidence shows.

Breakdown

Five measures, 100 points each. Open the receipts under any of them to see the posts and pages behind the points.

Viability

Is there a real problem, someone who would pay, and a market this builder can actually reach?

Journaling is a real need, but there's no model for charging anyone and nothing that sets it apart from existing diary and notes apps. The creator treats it as a side project, with no plan to grow it.

18/100

Rubric 0–20No clear problem or user. A toy, a practice clone, or a solution looking for a problem.

Receipts (2)
  1. The creator describes it as a side project built in 3-4 days that 'gets the job done', with no plan to monetise or grow it.

    “#side_Project #my_space I checked on one of my side projects and was amazed to see someone actually writing their diary! I haven’t looked at it in about a month, and it feels like finding an abandoned city 😁. For those new to my channel, this project is called Myspace. It's a diary/journal app. If you want privacy, make sure to set your journals to private and keep them for yourself. It might no”

What stops someone copying it?

A diary app with themes, moods, comments and likes is something most developers here could rebuild in a weekend. The creator says it took 3-4 days, and there's no proprietary data, Amharic depth, or local integration.

Did the updates keep coming?

Infrastructure

Does a real, working product exist?

A working diary app is live with accounts, posting, comments, privacy options and search. It's thin, with default 'Create Next App' page titles and an empty pricing page.

Sustainability

Is it being set up to last?

It's on a free Vercel subdomain with no payment path, no support contact, and no sign of a team or ongoing commitment. The creator treats it as a side project, and nothing suggests it can sustain itself.
