Answer the question "Before I die, I want to..." and post it to the wall.I built this as part of a journaling app I’m working on as a side project. Personally I find life goals fascinating - they're the things we think will make us feel the happiest and the most fulfilled, yet often people think they won't achieve them.I have tried to make it feel atmospheric with the goal of making you stop and think about your own life for a second.
