I used http://ohlife.com/ until they shut down. After that I just switched to using a Google Doc. The service mostly just provided me a daily reminder, but after you get into the habit it isn't hard to keep it up without that.

I love that someone followed through and got it done. I bet a lot of people thought about it. I bet that there's even someone seeing this right now pissed off that they didn't finish first. Great design. Where'd you get your little illustrations?
Thank you a lot, I got the illustrations on https://craftwork.design
Does this mean these companies are outsourcing their graphics, mock ups, etc.?
Yesterday Paul Graham asked for an email diary service ( https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1216714155731890176 ): > Is there an easy way to build, or a startup that offers, something that will email you once a day asking "What's happening?" and then accumulate the replies? I did just that! Let me know what you think.
> Unfortunately, though, in this one case I can't promise that if you build it, I'll use it. Unless I know you, I can't trust that you won't read my emails. (I trusted the previous startup that did it because we'd funded them.)
How do you solve the "won't read my emails" problem ?
I've seen the statement in your website:
> Your data stored and transferred securely. No one will ever read or process your notes even the staff. Your data belongs to you and can be easily exported in preferable format by request.
But once the data leaves the browser there is no way to know, wouldn't you consider to partner with Gmail(or others) and appear as an addon to an already trusted company in order to start off the business ?
The service that Paul Graham mentioned is probably this one: http://ohlife.com Shutdown announcement: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8345881 I used it and loved it. It was cool while it lasted. Unfortunately it's just one more example for why I don't trust startups. Also you probably don't need a service, personally I can just send email to yourself, PGP encrypted. The only bit that's missing is a periodic remi…

Almost every app could be replaced with email, a cron job or a spreadsheet ;-)

I have never heard of that service (looks pretty interesting actually), but at the bottom it says trust by Uber, Pinterest, Google, etc. Does this mean these companies are outsourcing their graphics, mock ups, etc.?
Do you store the diary in plain text?
Honestly, I love it! A very related project, that focuses on being a "social network" through email: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21853667 Edit: I'm getting errors with the login functionality. Please check it out.
Thanks! What browser do you use?

I love the simple sourcing of requirements. Good job!
