For those unaware: I think parent poster is being sarcastic. EDIT: my original comment was "Don't know why you're being downvoted. That's sarcasm people!". It was flagged. I wondered why and decided to check the HN guidelines. Sure enough, I violated one: Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading. Sorry about that!
Humor is not one of HN's strong suits.

Your Autumn app looks pretty sweet by the way. I've been looking for a simple WM on Mac. The other ones are always needlessly complicated (looking at you Hammerspoon). Especially after using the beautifully minimal bspwm [1] + sxhkd on Linux for years. But re: zero analytics, aren't you curious how many people use the app at a minimum?

Have you checked out chunkwm[1]? [1] https://koekeishiya.github.io/chunkwm/index.html

Client side encryption with a passphrase derived key and synchronization to Google Drive? That would work great for me.
it would be easiest yes to use something avalablee to people for free where good encryption things are present. but i suppose a lot of the world is waking up to the fact these things aren't so nice really, and offline storage for personal things is better. it would be cool to have some export or import button to save everything into some kind of archive, then you can move it between offline machines and import it int…
Here is my privacy centric, offline first, personal journal bash script EDITOR=vim journal() { mkdir -p ~/journal/`date +%Y` $EDITOR ~/journal/`date +%Y`/`date +%m-%d` } alias j=journal
That's a good way to capture thoughts, but the review process and linking of notes is less than perfect.
It's a single, self-contained HTML file. You download it, add data, then overwrite the file with a new version which includes changes.
If you want to go fancy, you can install it on a server with Node.js and stuff, but there's not a need to go there.
Haven't used the app yet but the "Facebook"ish theme and illustration-style on the first page made me recoil reflexively. Maybe because privacy is a big concern when it comes to journals and we have come to associate that colorscheme with distrust and privacy breaches lately. I think tweaking the colors and illustration style might help.
It has a dark mode with different colors. Let's not villify blue in general though :P

vscode-journal and vscode-journal-view (gives you a calendar view in the side bar) do what I need and are offline. I have vscode open anyway so path of least resistance applies.
Thanks for the recommendation, been looking for something like this.
Is there a OneNote, Evernote, that has the same feature set as ProtonMail? I like the idea of centralized cloud storage of notes for synchronization across devices with the same app/program, but with at rest encryption of the stored content that can only be decrypted on the client with the client's key.

All hilarious mocking aside (although you should probably turn this into a SaaS somehow and get it in the cloud), I've been using a simple .txt file for journaling since i started first my professional software gig in 2014. It has gone through multiple forms, once where i created a new file everyday, and it wasnt automated much. One day I realized I could be even MORE lazy and started automating a bit. Now i have one…
