Nice. I got one bit of feedback for this part > We are committed to protect your information. Your data is stored on our secure servers and we use SSL encryption to protect data transmissions. Your notes are for your eyes only. I found it less than convincing. Saying "your notes are safe" because we use SSL and stored on our "secure servers"... I know that something hosted in the Netherlands is probably slightly safe…

I want to see the words "encrypted at rest", or something similar.

Unless they're self hosting, this might even be a super easy thing to add. With AWS and many other cloud providers this is either the default or a simple checkbox.

On the off chance that someone physically steals the server?

Or steals bits at rest remotely for later analysis

Standard Notes [0] are allegedly encrypted at rest.

It looks slick and this is something I'm looking in to (again), but with slightly different goals in mind. I had some feedback on the copy, though, that I hope isn't just me being a pain in the a$$.

So, my first instinct when I read this was: "No, then." I apologize for jumping to sarcasm, simply because short of asking you to bake in end-to-end encryption, the fallback is to honestly state the situation. Though, I'd keep that sentence in the middle and ditch the rest. For those that might care, that's clearly not end-to-end encryption[0]. Hopefully they know enough to understand that "secure servers/SSL" means "the server, somewhere, sees the actual data" ... just like most of the rest of these sorts of apps.

For me, incidentally, the security you provide would be fine. I'm more interested in a note/to-do/calendar app for my family with easy sharing/tracking for the kids -- this doesn't appear to be a goal of your product, so it's probably not right for me at this time.

[0] Yes, you could simply say: "There's no end-to-end encryption", but then you could just use my original, sarcastic, answer and clearly this page is meant to market the product to people.
