Well, there is no sign up or login. The app is completely open for anyone to use. There is also no central database where everyone's writing is saved. All your data is saved to a SQLite database that lives in your browser. So users can save as much as they want. Browsers today can handle saving few gigabytes of data. That's a lot of text.

There is a server but that's only used during sync to temporarily store the encrypted data before passing it on to the destination device. It's basically a buffer. After sync completes, the data is deleted.

Glad you like it. One thing I have planned is a content calendar/kanban board so users can organize their writings. This could either be inside the app or integrate with other tools like Todoist or Trello. Do you have a favorite app that you use regularly?

Few other ideas I'm thinking about: - Show a recap of how much writing you did in the past week - time spent, number of words written etc. - Organizing by type of content. Right now it's only posts/articles but I'm planning journals, essays, and even books.

Isn't it easier? All of the required icons are in one place, it requires far lesser number of requests especially if you use a lot of icons in your application.

I understand why SVG is better if you use only a few icons or you need multiple colors etc.

Number of requests don't really matter anymore with HTTP2 which also means you only need to include the SVG images you actually use of each page. You can use SVG sprite sheets if you really want them in a single file.

Obviously there are multiple schools of thought. There are companies/people who don't go for funding and sustain on revenue from customers. Basecamp is a great example. They never used the funding they got from Jeff Bezos, instead putting all the money in a hedge fund. David Heinemeier Hansson, a partner at Basecamp talked about why they made this decision in a Tim Ferris podcast episode. He thinks that a company should be built for the long run instead of making a spectacular exit. These are the companies you usually don't hear about in the news. It's not to say that these companies don't grow but do so gradually, at their own pace. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS.

There also companies/people who think they need an exit strategy, rapidly iterate and grow, get multiple rounds of funding from VCs or angels, then sell it to one of the bigger tech companies. There are so many examples of these types of companies. You only need to visit Techcrunch or one of many tech news sites.

There are other types too. The company I work at, we do put in great work, have steady growth. We did get funding from VCs but working towards self-sufficiency. Funding was necessary to keep the company alive, while delivering great value to our customers. In the end it comes down to what kind of a culture you want to set for the company and what you think will be good for the company and the employees.
