I think your scheme might not be most effective if you write your daily updates without getting any input, even if you somehow know that people read them. I think I would give up at some point unless I was getting relevant feedback (it is better than nothing though).
What might work better is a buddy-type system with two or more people with the same procrastination problem, preferably also interested in the same subject, to keep each other accountable. If you’d like, I can do this with you for a period of time in addition to your updates and you’d get an idea of what’s better.
I see that there is already a paid service https://actionbuddy.io/ that somehow matches people (no endorsement). I could set up a free site that does matching based on expressed interests if people are interested.
That would be interesting to try, I sent you a private message with my contact details.
Just one thing I want to point out is that the problem is finding the right buddy/collaborator rather than any buddy/collaborator. It seems like there are a lot of platforms like Discord or IRL friends etc. that would do the trick if you just wanted any random buddy.
For example: I did try this with one IRL friend, and that quickly failed. It worked for a day or two but then it just felt like I was spamming him with updates, and the whole interaction felt like it was not adding value to him. Basically the problem was that he was not equally invested in any similar project, so I wasn’t getting any updates from him.
