I read your Medium post and was curious what you would think about Memrey https://www.memrey.com

With Memrey we offer our users 256 bit AES encryption. If a user encrypts their notepad not even we can decrypt the users data.

Also we plan to integrate PDF backups emailed to you on a monthly basis. Right now you can download a PDF backup of any notepad, but automatically emailing it every month would be a nice way of having it be worry free.

If you get a chance I would be curious to know if you think Memrey would solve your issues? It is one of the most advanced notebook products on the market.

I can ask users for a one-time charge to sign up on the app. Also, maybe I can add some "pro" features which I am unsure of, at the moment. Not really sure to be honest, let's see.

Are you planning to take a shot at getting funding through this Blockstack "App Mining" program ( https://app.co/mining )? If so: My suggestion would be to put this in a FAQ somewhere. I'd imagine to the great majority of people this wouldn't be a big deal, but it would help explain the motivation and, for some people, evaluate trustworthiness.

Yes, we plan to use that as a means to sustain ourselves till we can actually make some money from this. Thanks for pointing, I have mentioned it in the landing page's FAQ now.

Could you make it so we don't have to log out to see the link to that page.

Neat! I agree, and although it may not be clear what all of this means to everyone, this is the beginning of how "blockchain" (I use the word loosely) is going to prove its value. At Mainframe, we're working on something similar, called "Noted", and we offer some of the same guarantees but take it one step further: we rely on no centralized infrastructure at all, not even DNS. Congrats on getting this released!

Thanks. I wonder how are you doing that? Is there any way I can learn more?

Sure! Check out https://github.com/MainframeHQ/js-mainframe. This is a browser-like desktop app that has ambitions to embed portions of itself at the OS layer some day (we call it "mainframeOS" right now, with that ambition in mind).

We'll be making our first public release at the beginning of February. It will combine decentralized file storage, messaging, identity, and contacts in an easy-to-use API for dapps that operate from within its framework.

I'd be very interested to hear your feedback. I'm @canadaduane on twitter and @duane@refactorcamp.org on mastodon.

I think it is worth a mention that Simplenote ( https://simplenote.com ) is a simple note taking application available, at no cost, on all of the platforms mentioned. I use it because it syncs better than notes on my iPhone.

Memrey sync way better than simplenote I kid you not. In fact no other application sync as fast as Memrey, its core technology is built for this stuff. And it is available for all platforms as well.
