Is there no alternative that saves users' data? Of course there is. But you probably don't want to put anything sensitive into any of them. There's no shortage of bare bones Evernote type services out there. I've been running one for three years without a single user losing data. They tend to forget their usernames and passwords a lot but never the data. (Link in profile, won't plug it here).

I still use Evernote for things I needed to store a long time ago and never ported anywhere else. It boggles that mind that the very core of such a service, writing and reading data from some store, takes a backseat to all the other buttons and gadgets they wrap around it.
