Thanks! Looking forward to seeing what you put together. Are you working on the Rails side or the Ember side (or both)?

#4What are the other alternatives? I never got to try OhLife. I was planning on making something similar, so it's cool that these things already exist, although i'd want a few more features so maybe i'll look into forking this!

I'm open to anything you'd want to contribute, so long as it doesn't compromise the private nature of the service. Fork away! I'm available if you have any questions about the codebase, or need help getting started.

#6Just curious more than anything - what's the rationale for going with the GPL? Is it because you both open sourced the app and run it as a hosted service? (not quite sure how it helps this scenario, but again, curious)

#7So very close to what I want! I'd like to record short notes about my kids as they grow up (not necessarily daily) and ideally attach a single photo every now and then. Is there anything around like that?
Otherwise I'm tempted to get forkin'.

You can choose which days of the week, and at what time each day, the service send you reminder emails. As for photos, that's next on the list of features!

#9An idea. I have several "things" I want to log. One of what I did at work, and one for personal things like a diary. It would be neat to have the ability to receive multiple emails per day, at different times. I'd probably pay another $1 per "email".

It does accept multiple emails per day, however it doesn't distinguish within a day. If you send it more than one email per day it will append the text of the email to the existing entry for that day.
Perhaps you could create an account with your work email, and one with your personal email? I hope I understood you correctly!
