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?
