Trusting something as private as my personal diary to 3rd party sounds like a scary idea from a privacy point of view. Imagine someone hacking this site, exposing your very private information. I wish there was something like that end-to-end encrypted. You are already using E2E encryption for the communication channel (WhatsApp). I wish there was a hookup to store the same data without breaking down the chain of encr…
One can do note taking with self on Whatsapp. Quoting from whatsapp website ( https://faq.whatsapp.com/5913398998672934 ) > Use " rel="nofollow">https://wa.me/ where the is a full phone number in international format. Put your own number and you chat with yourself. Pin it to top, so it's always there. I use it to add information, search later use cases.
This has been out for a while now. But before this, what people used to do is create a group with just yourself as a member, and send messages there. You had to create a group with 2 people (yourself and someone else), and just remove them because it could not be done directly. And this could be used as notes or whatever. Right now I message myself but let's say if one wanted to maintain a separate chat for notes or…

I prompted chatgpt to make it more human and casual: huge props on launching! Seriously love how you’ve brought back the whole Ohlife vibe but made it way easier with WhatsApp. No apps or sign-ups? Genius. Plus, those daily reminders and little throwbacks? Such a nice touch—perfect for sparking some good ol’ nostalgia. You can totally see how much you care about this, and I’m hyped to see how people, especially the O…

> Congratulations on launching 'Today Has Been'! It's truly inspiring to see how you've revived the essence of Ohlife with a modern twist by integrating it with WhatsApp. The simplicity of journaling without the hassle of app downloads or registrations is a game-changer. I particularly love the daily nudge and the 'blast from the past' feature—it's a wonderful way to encourage reflection and nostalgia.
> Your passion for this project is evident, and I'm excited to see how it will resonate with users who miss the simplicity of Ohlife. Wishing you tremendous success on this journey!

rephrase it so that it doesn't read like a standard AI generated text. use creative wording and add a typo or two. it should feel like a human wrote it. super, super casual.
> amazing private collection of your life stories I guess it's technically not "public" but then again it's shipping your most private thoughts to WhatsApp and an unknown person and "privacy" isn't mentioned on the landing page once. Personally I can recommend DayOne which is built by a trusted entity Automattic (Wordpress etc.) and they do have a big focus on privacy: https://dayoneapp.com/privacy-pledge/

Also, is exporting possible? Let's say I would like to export all text / media to my pc, is that possible?

End to end encryption is not really a pledge. That is expected of companies like such. Nevertheless, their promise to not sell any data is interesting. If they don’t sell data (which cannot be sold anyways for an E2EE system) I wonder why they collect so much data related to one’s identity as disclosed by them in the App Store Page? Is the behaviour of journaling then becomes a data point to be sold by these companie…

Unfortunately, Diarium also reduces image quality significantly, even with their ‘higher quality’ setting. My Day One diary export is 90% larger than the data store Diarium syncs to webdav, the loss of fidelity is especially obvious when looking at screenshots.
