But reading text that subtly moves towards you on a full-screen browser makes me a bit seasick, and the maximized images make things feel a little wonky to me.
Cool, thanks! Yes so we were thinking of having that feature - where you could get it mailed each day/each week depending on your preference. We will look to build that in. thanks!
So my friend and I have added 365 bits of inspiration - one for each day. We then have a separate part of the site where a user can press 'submit' (bottom right corner) and submit their own inspiration. This can then be viewed by clicking 'shared inspiration' - again bottom right. So the site has two parts to it - a social type of part and then a daily dose part.
The million dollar question! It's a good point - so we thought about asking people if they wanted daily reminders via email? If we offered that type of option would that be of interest? We also wondered if we could make it easy for you to change your homepage to our site. Any other ways/ideas you can think of? Thanks
A daily email newsletter would be a great easy place to start. Lots of people would sign up if you made it frictionless. Bear in mind that, with a daily email, lots of people will ignore it or delete it unread if they are busy (as opposed to unsubscribing), so don't trust your subscription numbers, but lots of people will get value out of it too.
The other option that comes to mind would be a background app that changes your wallpaper to your image (with quotation) daily. Or maybe a browser extension that changes your homepage/speed dial background to this periodically.
If you want to try mobile, you could make an app that changes the phone's lock screen each day. But promoting the app would be difficult.
Pretty cool. Once tiny design hitch would be the flash that accompanies scrolling through the quotes. Each time the screen flashes a few times which is off putting.
A side note on that: There are people from non-profit photosensitive epilepsy foundations that scour the net for that kind of stuff. I've gotten emails about it before...it was an interesting discussion about such design features.

How can I make sure I check it every day?

(You could also place adds on it that way)
I agree with the email every day idea.
