At For Friends From Friends, we offer a chat-like interface that opens immediately, allowing you to start typing without any distractions. By documenting memories with friends and family, you are able to socially interact over your journal, which is key to consistency. Additionally, integrating routines enables you to track and gain valuable insights about your life.
For Friends From Friends was born from a collective struggle with consistent journaling. Despite trying various mediums like notebooks, agendas, and apps, maintaining a daily journaling habit was a challenge. The realization came that while journaling every day was difficult, checking social media daily was a routine, driven by the presence of friends. This insight sparked the idea of integrating journaling with social media. In the senior year at Istanbul Technical University, Mücahit Eren Cantemür and Salih Bora Öztürk needed a graduation project. After discussing various ideas, this concept immediately resonated, and For Friends From Friends was developed and brought to life during the final year of their degree.
We express our heartfelt gratitude to our families and friends for their unwavering support and encouragement throughout this journey. Special thanks to Asst. Prof. Dr. Gökhan Seçinti for his invaluable guidance and mentorship. We also extend our appreciation to Istanbul Technical University and the Faculty of Computer and Informatics for providing the environment. Finally, we thank everyone who contributed to the development and refinement of For Friends From Friends, making it a unique and engaging journaling experience.
