I built https://ohlife-export.herokuapp.com/ to help make a transition to another service way easier.
OhLife is shutting down

Re: OhLife is shutting down
#122I've used OhLife for years and have hundreds of entries. Seeing their shutdown notice made me incredibly sad.
I don't want to lose my journaling habit, so I looked into every recommended replacement in this thread. Sadly, I found each one to lack the relentless simplicity of OhLife.
Since I couldn't find what I wanted, I rolled up my sleeves with a fellow developer and started building.
Our plan is to add exactly one feature to OhLife: non-optional paid plans. We hope this means our service won't just disappear due to lack of financial stability.
If you'd like to know when we launch, you can drop your email on this simple page: http://notify.trailmix.life/.

#123I think the one thing that disappoints me most is that there's no rich text / mass-photo export option here. Almost every post I made on OhLife has a photo attached. I started using OhLife after psobot wrote a clone for it. His clone is now unmaintained, but I do think he had the right idea.
I wrote an export tool that exports JSON with HTML, and all photos in 1 ZIP: https://ohlife-export.herokuapp.com

Hmm... you might want the login link to point to /entries/all instead of /past?

#125For everyone who enjoys journaling via email, you may find DailyDiary a suitable alternative. A comparable question might be: https://www.dailydiary.com/questions/342540/how-did-your-day... Disclosure: I'm the founder. If there’s interest, I’m happy to add an import for OhLife exports.

Could you post some info about the Daily Dairy team on the site? It's nice to know who is handeling our personal data.

#127maildiary.net has an OhLife-diary import.

#128Earlier quoted context omitted.
This is laughable. Government has not incentive to properly store this information and not allow it to be misused.
In the context of what just happened to OhLife, isn't that just a little ironic?
Business fail and succeed all the time. Most of them fail and fade into oblivion. The government however continues to exist and rarely admitting that it has failed. Their solutions to their own created problems lead to more problems.

#129Anyone know how hard it would be to script up something like this so it could be self-hosted?
It's not that hard. I already work on a solution.
a few years ago I developed malidiary.net but now I develop a solution to host on your own server: http://owntools.de/index.php?id=1384105777.6149
It's not ready yet, but now that ohlife shuts down, I will speed up the development.
Re: OhLife is shutting down
#130I have 1161 entries dating back to my first on August 18, 2010. I really love the service, but understand if they have to shut it down. Thanks to the founders for keeping such an easy-to-use service around for so long. I'm off to find an alternative. My list of features isn't long. A daily email with a reminder and a previous post from the last year, month or week. It's that simplicity that kept me using the service.
Try maildiary.net
It has the same features.
