Weekly Log

FAQ

How do I sign up?

You can sign up via the /signup page. You will then receive an email from <onboarding@mail.weekly-log.com> to verify your account before signing in, which you can do by clicking the link in the email body.

If you cannot locate the email anywhere, or it has been over 24 hours since the last email was sent, you can generate another verification email via the /check-email page.

How often can I post?
You can create one post per week.

That said, if you have not already done so that week, you can delete the current week's post and get a second attempt, either starting fresh or reloading the deleted post as a draft.

See question "Am I able to edit a post I submitted?" for instructions on how to reload the post.

Am I able to edit a post I submitted?
Yes, if you want to edit your submitted post from the current week, you can delete the post and reload it as a draft.

Important caveats:

  • You must delete your post from this week to reopen the post editor. Deleting posts from previous weeks will not reopen the post editor.
  • If you have already edited and resubmitted your post once this week, the editor will not reopen if you delete it again. You are only allowed one edit per week.
You would find the post, select the trash icon, and follow these steps exactly:Delete Post - Step 1Delete Post - Step 2Delete Post - Step 3

Now you may edit your post from before, noting the message to the bottom-left of the post editor.

What defines a "week"? When does the week reset?
Each week resets at the same time for everyone, globally: Monday, 0:00 UTC

For you, that translates to: Monday, 12:00AM UTC

So after making a post, you do not have to wait a full 7 days before making another post.
You just have to wait until the weekly reset time, when everyone's post editor unlocks again ๐Ÿ˜€

Can other users see what posts I like?

Nobody can see that you liked a post besides you and the user who made the post.

Can other users see who I follow & who follows me?

Nobody can see a list or a count on who you follow, or who follows you.

If you follow a user, they can see you as a follower on their profile. But nobody else can.

Can I save a draft of my log, and finish it later?

No need. As you type your post, a draft will be saved automatically ๐Ÿ™‚

You're welcome to sign out or navigate away from the page, and your draft should be waiting for you when you come back.

Is there a limit to how long my log can be?

There is a 50,000 character limit on posts.

This very roughly equates to ~8000-9000 words, or ~15-20 pages in a document editor tool.

This limit does not include the HTML characters used to display RTF; it counts only characters you type.

Can I include images and videos in my posts?

No. Posts are strictly text-based, and cannot include pictures and videos.

The aim of this limitation is to retain simplicity, shift the focus of the website's content toward thought, and reduce the mental clutter of scrolling through many images and videos.

How can I request permanent deletion of my account and/or posts?

Locate our contact via the /contact-us page.

Please make sure to reach out from your account email, and specify what you would like to be deleted.

You will be sent another email that prompts you to confirm your data deletion, out of an abundance of caution. After you confirm, we will permanently delete the requested data.
