We don't have export yet, but we've definitely wanted to share some of our entries with close friends and family too. We'll be brainstorming around this!
Regarding past history: For your first week, we just send you your entry from the previous day. After you've been using it for a week though, and some history has built up, we'll show you entries from a week ago (and then a month ago, etc.).
Thanks for checking it out - really appreciate it!
Even if they do encrypt it, they will have to be able to decrypt them server side to send you your month old posts. That means the owners are technically capable of also reading all of your posts.
That's not entirely true. If this were purely a web-accessible blog, there's no reason you couldn't encrypt/decrypt this in the client (sending and storing encrypted text). You'd have to throw out email posting in that case though.
I think you're on to something. I look forward to the day when we are shocked by unencrypted private data accessible on the server as we do un-hashed passwords.
There are a number of online password stores where all the information is only decrypted on the client. Nothing new, just not widespread. Can't remember the name.
Hey HN - we made this in our spare time, just because it was something we wanted to use. When we told some friends about the idea though they wanted to use it too, so we decided to release it. Many thanks for checking it out.
I love the idea. Love it. Like, really excited. However, I'm not prepared to use a service like this in a hosted environment. Too many risks: you go out of business, security, privacy, etc. Plus the information just feels to personal to be sitting on someone else's server. I would love to see a quick daily prompt like this added to Macjournal or similar software.
That said, I'm sure there is a target market out there who will be more than willing to use the product in its current format. I'm looking forward to seeing where this idea goes.
I'm not sure what kind of top-secret lives some of these HN-ers are living, but I enjoyed sharing that my grandma has learned to IM me on Gmail, etc., and I don't think you care enough to read it. :-P
I think I might be likely to pay a yearly fee for this service. Beautiful design, too. Great job all around.
Love it! I've used penzu.com intermittently throughout the yr and every so often get lost in reading past entries!
One thing I've always "wondered" about more than concerned is privacy. Being a journal, I write out some of the deepest and most personal things in it. I'd find it assuring if you guys laid out your thoughts on privacy. I know there is only so much you can do but merely knowing your longterm vision will help.
Last thing I want is to do a journal on a site whose longterm vision is to open up the journal for public viewing ala facebook. If that was the longterm vision(to open it up), I may still use it but for a different purpose.
On the top right of your meeting page are Print and PDF links. When you click the Print link you can customize the output, so you can choose to print the agenda or the minutes, or both. Also, on the bottom of the page is a link to add action items.
I'm happy to follow up more if you have any questions. Just shoot us an email at contact@meetingmix.com.
We want someone to see this and start using it without worrying about the cost. Before launching we met with managers to understand what prices they're able to expense without needing additional approval. We learned that this wildly varied depending on the company's size though, so we decided to go with the simplest model and price it at the lower end. Hope this helps!
I'd suggest rethinking this post-haste, because a) pricing is a signal of quality and you being cheap makes it unlikely any "serious businessman" will use you and b) the true price of your offering is not the amount of money you charge but the hassle I incur getting the charge authorized either by myself or my line manager, and that hassle does not bear anything like a linear relationship to costs at low dollar amounts.
(Dragging my credit card out of my wallet is far more of an annoyance to me than spending $5 a month, and you should see the form I'd have to fill out to get comped for it. I pay for my own hotels when I work overtime because it causes me less stress to pay $60 than it does to babysit a reimbursement request for two to four weeks.)
Yes, thanks for reply. But do you mean that you could change the pricing depending on the initial feedback? In that case, won't it be difficult to break the perception?
Tweaking the wording of your links is time well spent. Imagine if the same testing methodology was applied to the Sign Up button on a B2B app. You could drastically increase conversions with just a few small modifications!
Precisely. It's so sad some people focus only on getting traffic to their sites and then don't focus on the conversions. If people focused on conversions and experience more than traffic, the Web would be a lot more pleasant.
Either people made a mistake or possibly they agree with yef's sentiment above and are taking it out on this comment since they can't downvote the actual submission.
