Product Positioning & Context
UnderSurface is a journaling app where inner voices respond to your writing in real time. You type. You pause. An inner part reacts. It may notice what you're avoiding, sit with you in discomfort or connect dots you haven't seen yet. It's not a chatbot or a therapist. It's a writing companion. It works in any browser and is multilingual. Strict privacy, export and account controls. Built as a solo project because I kept abandoning my own journal entries the moment they got real.

this is called gold mate! keep making more such products like these!
Very cool Arash. I use something similar I built for myself (a CLI version) that I think of as my BS detector. It calls out things I'm avoiding and helps find the theme under the words. How'd you make this one work under the hood?

Hey everyone!
I'm Arash, and I built UnderSurface because I kept quitting my journal entries at the exact moment they started to matter.
I started wondering: what if something was there while I wrote?
That's why I built UnderSurface. You write, and when you pause or slow down, an inner voice speaks. There are many voices and new ones are created organically based on your sessions.
What I didn't expect was how it would affect me. How it would challenge me in ways I was not expecting. So I decided to share.
I would love your feedback on your experience and any suggestions you may have.
This is a solo project and a labor of love. Happy to answer anything about how it works under the hood.
