How do you intend to make money? I read in another comment that your sync is a home-grown, non-iCloud solution. So you definitely have costs.

I ask because I would like to know why I should trust you with my personal data, and unless you have a non-privacy intrusive way of making money, how do I know that the data will not get "sold" later?

I have a revenue model spec'd out and I can certainly tell you right now that selling your data isn't one of them. I'm a huge fan of Evernote and Phil Libin and Blobly will follow the 100+ year plan. So privacy is definitely the top most priority. I truly believe that Blobly will become the repository of our lives so making sure you guys are happy is definitely important.

Blobly will have a freemium and a premium plan to help keep the application running. However, I can't list right now what some those features are just yet but I can assure you that your data will be safe.

Please answer the privacy/encryption question. Probably the most important piece of info if the usp for this is a "private journal app."

Hi Joel,

I was going to respond to your comment but since this is a very important topic, I thought I would reply the original commenter so that it becomes more visible. The response was for both you and tsyhco :).
