The biggest concern of me with journals is that I'm always afraid that one day the developers will stop developing it, and all my data will be gone.

Therefore, I choose some reliable names like Evernote or Wordpress to store my thoughts there. Although agreeably, they are not fast and smooth, they provide reliability. How do you plan to solve this?

I believe many people have the same concern as me because personal thoughts are very important.

Very valid concern! Currently it exports to and restores from JSON so it's already 10x portable than most journal apps.

I've been using this app for the last year and half consistently so it's hard to quit this habit now.

In the event that I can no longer update this app, it will be open sourced. I’m also considering OS it before that so more can contribute.

Also, right now the JSON format is extremely simple with a log key and timestamp key and anyone can create a compatible app. I'd recommend it as the new hello world project instead of a to-do list app. :)

I know what you mean, but you are thinking in cloud applications.

Well, this app works offline and allow export backup data, so I don't think this is a concern if you backup regularly.

A non-blocking automated backup to Google Drive would be nice though.

Evernote and reliable doesn't seem like something that shoumd be in the same sentence or am I seriously mistaken?
