Journal 2.0: Mental Space for What Matters

I downloaded and installed, but then I saw it forces me to sign up using gmail or apple only. This led me to start reading the privacy policy... you basically collect every webpage I visit, ip, how many times&#x2F;time of day, etc... and sell it to advertisers.<p>I don&#x27;t like advertisers manipulating me through their psychological research into my habits. It&#x27;s unethical.<p>If this software were offered in a way that respected my privacy, I would honestly try it. But for this reason I tend to stick to open source software. It may be much less functional and require more manual work, but it gives me peace of mind.<p>Wish you the best... just not my cup of tea.

I went through a multi-step process of trying to access Journal on my phone: being redirected to desktop, checking my inbox for an invite email, going to journal.com, having to download a desktop app, signing in, and then...after all that, I am informed that Journal is invitation only. I&#x27;d suggest maybe informing users earlier in this process that the app is invitation-only.

I really want to see pricing, early on and massively obvious in the UI. I need to know if this is Oss or free, or if I&#x27;m gunna get hooked on something I can&#x27;t afford...

Usually my first and only questions when looking at trying a new note-taking app - have you implemented client-side encryption? How are my notes secured?

A password signup option would be appreciated. While the social logins are convenient and I often use them, I prefer to use passwords for services that I&#x27;d also like to use at work because I intentionally avoid signing into my personal Google account on my work computer. A username&#x2F;password login option provides a nice way to share a service without spilling my personal Google account onto work equipment.

I understand the emphasis on getting users to sign up, but I wanted to read more to see where this might fit into my workflow.<p>- Does it support markdown?<p>- Can I export my notes?<p>- Are there any to-do list features?

This is really cool. I like the idea of &quot;spaces&quot; per project. Any thoughts on how to integrate hand written&#x2F;ios pen written notes into the workflow?

Why do you ask for my mail during sign-up and then continue to only offer oauth with google or apple.

Any import tool from major notes app?
