Congratulations on having it available, good luck! I haven't tried it yet but I've read the site. How are you going to monetise it? Bug report: FAQ text on Windows with Chrome: http://imgur.com/bnJYG4V (the font is very small and it's not a good type for Chrome in Windows)

Thanks for the feedback! Will look into that issue immediately. Find my answer on monetization above.

> How are you going to monetise it? Also my immediate question. I am willing to pay for a service like this to continue (I love traveling and have been looking for a good app to function as a journal). My first thought was basically, "A travel journal is really important to me now and will increasingly become more important to me. How can I guarantee this work/time/life invested will continue for 40 years?"

Thanks for the feedback. It's great to hear that you're willing to pay for such a service. If you're interested i put you on our list of testers for freemium?!

I'd be happy to test—though my traveling will be limited in the near future (I just finished a summer of traveling).

Edit: just noticed you were located in Wien. Ironically, I spent three weeks there this summer (mostly in Pötzleinsdorf area).

This looks terrific! I was looking for something exactly like this not too long ago. At that time my parents were about to embark on a round-the-world journey, and it was so difficult to find a simple travel blogging app or service for my mom. In the end I set her up with an account on Medium, but even Medium's carefully designed UX was still too awkward, and she never felt completely comfortable with it. Note to UX…

Totally get your point! Thanks will pass on the UI/UX credits to bbusetti. she is responsible for the design. In fact we really tasted a lot with older people. My parents now use it a lot, as they can also follow via web and email.

Love the UI and UX, everything is pretty & intuitive. Is it possible to tag friends who were with me, at each entry? Either through Facebook or Twitter tags? That would allow me to share the moment with friends who experienced it as well.

Thanks! design credits go to bbusetti! Tagging is not possible in this version. But we already started looking into that, as we are working on a feature to collaborate with two or more people on the same trip.

We are from Wien that's right. :) Hope you had a great time there! At the moment we are in San Francisco. At least until October.

I haven't tried out the app yet but by looking at the landing page it looks like there isn't a way to journal video entries? I've been trying to find a travel journal app that can let me take short snaps and short video updates as I travel.

That's right. For the early version we decided not to support video entries. But we are counting every request. And it is on our radar. I like the idea of videos as well. I'd like to know what kind of videos you want to share? How long are the videos you currently make?
