I am building a mood tracking/journaling site, and I would like to have some early users to give me feedback. It is something I am doing for-profit, but current

  why does this have to be on the in the cloud? would be nice to allow data saved only in local storage (and make the syncing optional). I understand then it's harder to monetize, but you don't need infrastructure if it runs locally and for the user it's a privacy (security) win. Consider that people are gonna use it as a diary/journal and IMO having this saved in the cloud is extremely privacy intrusive so I'd at least would expect more info about encryption of data at rest. There is no end to end encryption so I assume this is by design and people will see ads in future based on their "mood"? I think it's not ethical to extract money from users this way in 2019. There is no value-add from it being in the cloud (you wouldn't have any problem with scaling infra cost if it runs locally). Also security headers: https://securityheaders.com/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.quidsentio.com%2F&followRedirects=on https://securityheaders.com/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.quidsentio.... fwiw I find the idea itself quite cool but in it's current design wouldn't touch it with a stick.

    No, I won't use ad based on moods. I plan to create a business model based on subscriptions (once I have more valuable features). I am thinking about the best way to secure the information, I am just not sure about the tradeoffs. edit: thanks for the security headers link, I will work on it
