Yep, that's the app I was using before I figured out that it doesn't encrypt my entries. Also it doesn't have a web-view, right?

I thought it might be great if I would build a great-looking web-application which also has a well-documented API (you can't say that of any great journaling app out there).

I think especially for people who are traveling 'round the world - and don't keep devices like an iPhone, an MacBook, etc. with them - it would be perfect (many of them are still using Internet Cafés).

But of course, the most people are writing on their own devices. For them, we could write some native apps later.

Another tiny question: Would you pay for a service like that? I mean a few dollars /month. In my opinion, there's currently no complete service out there, which focusses only on journaling.

Okay, maybe a few poor-designed and -developed ones.

> Would you pay for a service like that?

I wouldn't. There are enough free options (e.g. onenote, email, physical journal, etc.) that work just fine for me. I personally don't see the value in paying for a service that uploads and syncs my journals, even if it has a really nice interface.

Agreed. You'd have to come up with a good feature, other than just syncing/looking pretty, to make it worth paying for.
