Love this! Built https://blankslate.io for the web for this purpose and have wanted something for iOS to get me the same.

@tommyrva Blankslate works fine on iOS, and if you use Chrome on both even remembers your login

@stoweboyd I (honestly) had no idea it worked at all on iOS! Maybe I'll bookmark it on my homescreen and try using it.

Really good product! Keep it up! Just found a bug you should know about. I was typing a note while in a meeting, but then my phone went to sleep. When I woke it up again to continue typing, all the text disappeared and I was left with a blank note :(. Cheers!

@asheinfeld "It's not a bug, it's a feature!" So privacy is very important to me. If you have a written note that's not posted into your journal, there's a risk someone would open your JOT and read it. Getting rid of it is part of my goal with absolute privacy. Thanks for letting me know that you found this to be a bug. I'll likely make this an option in a settings area somewhere. Thanks for the comment and feedback!

Thought about a product like this a lot -- I love how it enables you to write down small thoughts. I think some sort of tags could be great (maybe even suggested tags based on the content in the post to make it super simple to categorize). Also, maybe a schedule later where you could have the note pop up a notification in the future if you need to finish it or need reminded of something. Along the lines of simplicity, it could be a default time, like 24 hours, so that you could schedule it in one tap.

@muuhoffman Thanks for sharing some ideas Matt, very good insight. I like that you stay in line with our goal of keeping it fast, lean and simple. I've noted your ideas.

To put it simply, this is what the standard in journaling apps should be -- as far as the type-straight-into-secrecy functionality goes. So nicely done and well thought. I wish nothing but the best of luck to you guys.
