I know your homepage says that all your posts are private, however, adding a privacy policy page which outlines that in legal speak would probably be good idea.
Otherwise, this looks great, and I'm looking forward to using it!

#12Love the idea. Good work fellas

#13I notice that a huge part of my daily life is recorded in email conversations with other people -- it would be cool if I could forward a conversation to post@ohlife.com and it would automatically make it a part of my journal and make it aesthetically pleasing at the same time.
Great job on the execution of this app. I have talked to others who have had this same idea, but their execution was ugly/unexcting/etc. This is clean and simple.

#14Ok, nice enough, but why would I mail my private thoughts to the cloud? Writing a small script that mails a random email by me to myself should be easy enough.

#15There is a typo in the url at the end of the How did your day go? email. Should be ohlife.com/today, not ohlife.come/today

#16This is really cool. I'm curious if you can read the entries?
Thanks for the kind words! We're currently working on encrypting the entries - this is an MVP and we initially wanted to see if people like the idea.

#19First of all, fantastic design! Is there any way to export posts - for example, if I wanted to share them with a significant other or another family member? Also, and this is mainly curiosity, how do you handle sending posts from the past for the first few days where there really isn't much history?
Thank you!
We don't have export yet, but we've definitely wanted to share some of our entries with close friends and family too. We'll be brainstorming around this!
Regarding past history: For your first week, we just send you your entry from the previous day. After you've been using it for a week though, and some history has built up, we'll show you entries from a week ago (and then a month ago, etc.).
Thanks for checking it out - really appreciate it!

#20This is really cool. I'm curious if you can read the entries?
That's a very difficult feature to implement, since the encryption has to be 2 way. It's much easier to achieve this with passwords, because all the system needs to do is validate supplied passwords (as opposed to reproducing the passwords themselves).
