This isn't really blogging, it's journaling. Writing a diary is supposed to be
therapeutic because you're writing down the things you dare not talk about
with others (maybe not even your SO). It's not about what you do, it's about
how you feel.

That's why I would like to see encryption mentioned somewhere, and pushed
hard. I wrote one entry to see how it works, but I'm going to disable the
notifications until I know that my personal outpourings are not actually being
read by others.

Hey HN - we made this in our spare time, just because it was something we
wanted to use. When we told some friends about the idea though they wanted to
use it too, so we decided to release it. Many thanks for checking it out.

I love the idea. Love it. Like, really excited. However, I'm not prepared to
use a service like this in a hosted environment. Too many risks: you go out of
business, security, privacy, etc. Plus the information just feels to personal
to be sitting on someone else's server. I would love to see a quick daily
prompt like this added to Macjournal or similar software.

That said, I'm sure there is a target market out there who will be more than
willing to use the product in its current format. I'm looking forward to
seeing where this idea goes.

Accept PGP-encrypted mail seamlessly and you won't need a privacy policy
except for those who like throwing their lifelog at random strangers. Be sure
to use PGP/MIME to include the old message in your mailing.

Of course, setting up PGP, let alone remembering the passphrase (gasp) is a
lot to ask of the typical user who needs to use his mail client as a text
editor.

Otherwise, it's a cute idea, really. Please excuse cynicism.
