Solo developer. I build and run Solous — a private journal for the things that fit nowhere: you write an entry, and years later your past self gets a reply from whoever you've become. Optional end-to-end encryption; with it on I can't read your entries. Installs from the browser on iPhone and Android, no app store. Bootstrapped, no funding.

Haha. Yes. Thanks you for your feedback!

Those are great and works well. There are pros and cons for every way of doing things.

Digital ones can be done on phones so you don't need to carry a journal and a pen around. My daughter lost her journal in a trip, which sucks. And physical ones may have poor security and parents or spouse can just read it. But that could be a feature too. We learn about history from these journals. Not everyone want to let their secret known.

This app have features that allow you to reply or comment on your old notes. Of course, you can write them on edge of pages, but there are limited space. and of course you can attach photos, videos or do voice journaling.

the whole point of mine sweeper is to be fast. Extra things is slowing it down. It is too complicated for a simple game.
