An idea. I have several "things" I want to log. One of what I did at work, and one for personal things like a diary. It would be neat to have the ability to receive multiple emails per day, at different times. I'd probably pay another $1 per "email".

It does accept multiple emails per day, however it doesn't distinguish within a day. If you send it more than one email per day it will append the text of the email to the existing entry for that day. Perhaps you could create an account with your work email, and one with your personal email? I hope I understood you correctly!

I see, although doing that I would have to go back and find that email again to reply again.

Multiple accounts, maybe. I'd just prefer to have it all in one account. The work notes are still personal, so I guess a mix would work. Like gmailusername+workstuff@gmail.com should do the trick.

Just curious more than anything - what's the rationale for going with the GPL? Is it because you both open sourced the app and run it as a hosted service? (not quite sure how it helps this scenario, but again, curious)

You might also want to consider the AGPL.

Looks great - forked it and look forward to submitting some tests.

Thanks! Looking forward to seeing what you put together. Are you working on the Rails side or the Ember side (or both)?

For now on the Rails side - I'm interested in learning Ember but it's a bit more of a project for the future.
