Show HN: Startwriting.in – a simple privacy conscious private journal

Developer here.. This is my first user facing product after becoming a programmer (my journey can be found in my comments and posts here in HN).<p>I built this after searching for a journal app that just allows me to store my entries only to my cloud storage. There are many people who still prefer plain old text files for writing journal and this is an interface for them.<p>Would really love your folks&#x27; feedback on this thing..<p>I planned to implement features such as multiple cloud services,search, tagging, Markdown support all down the line based on the feedback and adaptability.

There are various writing platforms that store files at Dropbox. I don&#x27;t use any, but I have used <a href="http://writeboxapps.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;writeboxapps.com&#x2F;</a> in the past and it does what it does very well.<p>Not that there isn&#x27;t room for one more -- people are different, so the need for different apps --, but just be aware that this is not a super nouveau idea.

Why did you built your own login service when you could just use Dropbox authentication? I was about to try the app (just to give you feedback), but I will not sign up again, I&#x27;m afraid I will get a confirmation email.
