Would anyone pay for a journaling app with an incredible editor (Markdown) experience?

Hey there!

I've been journaling mostly on pen and paper for the last several years. But it's hard to go back and search for old posts. At the same time, there are so many different places to write and store journal entries digitally; word documents, Notion pages, other wiki apps, etc.

I'm curious if anyone would pay --- and if so, how much? --- for a private journaling web app with an amazing editor experience. Think of rich-text editors like Ghost or Medium that support Markdown syntax.

What kind of features would be must-haves and nice-to-haves? Some of the one that I have in mind include:

  • Full-text search
  • Privacy-focused (these are personal entries, after all)
  • Ability to export entries, no lock-in or anything like that
  • Clean, minimalistic UI so that users can focus on writing

Let me know what you think! Thanks in advance :)

    yes, they would, some examples are Evernote, Atlassian Confluence, Notion, etc.

    Note there are also free to use solutions with all these features, ckeditor, Quill editor, etc.

    what problem are you solving?

    maybe look at the reviews of EverNote and its competitors and see what they are lacking.
