Creator Lore

Hi, It’s Me, the Creator

The very unofficial origin story of Daily Sticky, from embroidery journal envy to vibe coding, sticker chaos, and one very cute little app.

Hi. I’m Lisa Lacy.

I’m the creator of Daily Sticky. I made Daily Sticky because one day on Reddit I saw a post where someone had made an embroidery journal — so freaking cool and talented. I loved the cute little stitched icons representing each day. But I thought WOW that is a LOT of work. Plus, I can’t design my own icons. That would be hard. Plus, you have to buy all the materials?? Wow. I wish I could do that online... wait a second... one time I took a coding bootcamp and kinda learned how to code. I could make it myself! And so I did! Well, more like I vibe coded it, but whatev.

I started using the journal January 1, 2026. Wow, what good timing. But it was just for me at that point. Two months in I was like wow, I can’t remember why I chose these stickers. I need to add notes. So I did. Also, I needed more stickers. So I added more stickers, but then that crashed the site and I had to compress the shit out of them. And then I was like honestly, this is pretty cool. I should let people use it. So I started showing it to my friends. I don’t think any of them used it, but it got me excited anyway. I kept working on it, tweaking, did a MASSIVE UI overhaul (so pretty now!), designed a bunch of logos, made a freaking Instagram page, created a whole BLOG for it. Wow.

All the while I’m working a full-time job, interviewing for a new job (WHICH I GOT!!!!), going to therapy, running a writing club, hanging out with some super cool friends, and... writing a novel.

Oh yes, did you know I’m writing a novel? WELL I FREAKING AM. NGL this sticker thing has kinda stole the show for a bit and slowed my novel roll. But I’ll get back to it. I’m 53% done at this point, so no way am I giving up. I have a super cool premise, and I’m really proud of my writing, and it’s really exciting.

But so is DAILY STICKY. And maybe I needed just a bit of a creative outlet switch-up for a minute, you know?

Anyway, so that is me. I’m a writer, a coder, a creator. More than anything, I’m a problem solver. I love coming up with ideas and implementing them and making everything so incredibly amazing with my own personal me-ness.

Thanks for visiting. I hope you like Daily Sticky.

P.S. I love how my whole app is "who wants to write long journal entries!!" and then I write a super long journal entry introducing myself. lol. But I'm also up way past my bedtime, which is exactly why I shouldn't make THIS my habit!
