Re: Ask HN: Any of you who keep a journal like to try a beta release of our iOS app?
#2Hi!
Would any of you (Bay Area preferred but not necessary) would like to try an app I just got done building? I spent the last 2 months designing and building it and I'm really excited to be able to finally share it with some of you guys. It's still a work in progress but I'm real close to launching it.
So the app in question is called Blobly and it's going to help us remember life's important moments. Blobly's mission is to become the repository of our lives.
If you are interested, please sign up in the link provided in the title. You'll get an email from me with a simple how-to-install instruction.
Thanks for reading and have a great day :)

#4Looks nice. I'm curious though: the site mentions that everything is synced through the Cloud. Did you use iCloud or is it a home-grown solution - or something else? Sync is hard - and I've found iCloud sync in practice is still pretty hard.

It looks like this is a private version of Path, and if that's the case, this may be just what I'm looking for! I'd love to ditch "social networks" and have my own way to store my moments and memories in the cloud on a timeline. I just don't want the rest of the world to see.

Hi and thank you for the complement.
It's all home-grown solution. Sync was definitely hard but it was one of my top priorities from the very beginning. Though it definitely still needs a bit of an improvement but it's working beautifully at the moment.

#7it looks impressive. Is there a way to export the notes to another software? Also, how is it better/worse than Evernote? I tend to use Evernote as a journal...

#8Can you compare/contrast this with another iOS app I've been looking at for journaling - Day One http://dayoneapp.com/?

#9That is great, but is it private? If so you should explicitly state that. That will be your differentiating feature that you should stick with.
