I am currently building a personal journal app will become what I calling a "quiet social network" [0]. The idea seems similar of this calm tech, although they are talking more about hardware.

I am on the fence about notifications though. They can be very useful for the user. I am planning to add notifications, but probably all off by default, and the user decides very granularly what they want on. Does it seem the right approach? I would appreciate any opinion

there are so many problems with our norms around social networks that I don't know where to start, but two of the worst for my brain are: 1) getting interrupted when I'm thinking about something else 2) the slot-machine-like intermittent reward feeling of checking constantly. and those two together mean that my phone is constantly saying "hey! stop what you're doing and lose an hour in the distraction engine!"
