Show HN: Write a private diary using good old email
The very humble Notes app on macOS/iOS fulfills this for me. I just start typing, the minimalistic interface gets out of the way. Timestamping is on last modification instead of creation date but I add one manually. That's about my only drawback. Some features I find compelling:<p>- I can start a train of thought on the mac, continue it on the phone and complete it on my mac.<p>- It's not mined by some advertising company, no subject to the viability of some business.<p>- Being so simple, the contents can be exported to some other format very easily.<p>- Works offline (only background sync requires connection).<p>- And search is near instant since everything is stored locally.
