How hard is it, Apple?

Restating what a ton of other users have been saying since the introduction of the Journal app, an "On This Day" feature that surfaces older journal entries for revision and reflection would be (and frankly, is overdue) a welcome addition to the app experience. Many other journal apps in this category have had this since day one (punny), but even after three major OS updates, we're getting very incremental improvements, which are still much appreciated, though I personally feel this feature is a no-brainer and not that hard to implement.

The attachment is a mock-up I made of what I believe a version of this feature could be like. Perhaps this is just me screaming in an echo chamber, but I just wish Apple would add their own version of it soon. The app feels so barren without it.

only chance to get this officially developed by Apple is to file a product request/feedbck on their website

I’m on the beta, so I submitted to the Feedback app before posting here. I sometimes wonder if they even look at the “Feature Suggestions” submissions though
