I 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.

Interestingly, my usage dates back to around the same time (Sep, 2010) and the list of features that I use/need is identical. Just a daily email reminder with a previous post from the past year/month.

If the founder(s) of OhLife are reading this thread, I'd like to make an offer: I'll pay to host the infrastructure/servers (up to $1,000/month) as a contribution to the community. My guess is, a lot of people are using this app and would like to keep it around.

Ping me @dharmesh on twitter if you're interested.

Maybe a crowdsourced model might actually do better than a freemium model. You're right, it's the simplicity that makes it so nice. So they don't really need to iterate on features at this point.

Simply maintaining a web application unfortunately requires a fair bit more than just paying the hosting bill, even if you're not adding features.

Will you send out a tweet or something if you get ahold of them?

I have offered to buy but they have not returned my emails, so we're going to build our own version and offer an import feature. Will be housed at http://everymoment.me as soon as we have something ready to go.

Please lety me know when you do!! email me [e-mail]

They never replied to email or social message, so we're building a replacement that will allow people to import Ohlife entries. We plan to make them a little more secure as well.

Yes, thanks to the creators of ohlife. I used it a lot especially on holidays.

Now looking for alternatives too. So far Penzu is looking like the winner. It seems to have everything ohlife had plus apps.

Try maildiary.net It has the same features.

and you can import your ohlife-diary to start over.

280daily may be of interest to you.

Neither 280daily or Penzu can get even close to the clean, fast, beautiful and simple interface of Ohlife. Specially It's large readable clean fonts. Right now offline Secretpad seems like a viable alternative. or just the our old beloved notepad.
