ironic that it says "No nonsense" on their landing page but then it stores my thoughts/notes in the cloud. no thanks to another crappy freemium SaaS platform (for sure they have "recurring revenues" on their business plan).

There’s no business plan. I haven’t found a way to store notes on blogs without putting the notes on the cloud yet. Thanks!

  so it's a note taking app that lacks any of the privacy features? Wordpress too lets me safe drafts and leaves it up to me whether I ever publish them. I wouldn't call wordpress a "note taking app". it's not a note-taking app if it sends everything to your servers. And it's a shame there is not a single word on security/privacy: how is data protected at rest? your password hashes salted? what is saved client-side vs server-side? where is the security.txt or contact info? what is your data storage policy, cookies, gdpr etc? you offer a premium package yet there is no info on any of the above? Security/privacy concerns aside you extract money yet haven't even got a vision on how to grow this (no business plan) ... I'd give this a hard pass since it seems to be just another hobby project where everything depends on a single dev but the product ultimately doesn't have a vision. (not that this would be bad - but the fact that there is no clear statement on it _while_ extracting payment leaves a first impression that is fishy, questionable and unprofessional)

    Clearly not a product for your use case. Wordpress is great! Yes, this started as a hobby to solve my own use case ~3 weeks ago. I think that explains the lack of business growth vision you describe. Need to write down about the concerns you mention, they’re valid and should be communicated more clear on the website, I’ll create a note. Thanks.

    Your feedback would have more value if it was not presented in such a harsh form. fyi.

      I love how the creator just rolls with the adverse-like feedback though! Seems like a cool dude!

I'm curious if you're aware that "Show HN" in the title is someone with the community a new thing they've built.

  Considering you don't seem to have a new account: I get that you're trying to be helpful. But the way you say things come through as being dismissive about other people's work. They just put in a bunch of work into it; they seem very open to getting feedback and working on it. I'm curious what you're trying to prove by calling it "crappy"?

I think you are probably in the minority who think storing things in the cloud is nonsense. Maybe it doesn’t work for you, but it has tons of benefits. This service might not be for you, but there is no reason to post such a negative comment degrading someone else’s work.
