Zen Diary — a personal diary with encryption



After I showed the community of Habra a project PJournal, my mailbox just exploded from the onslaught of incoming messages. The people who read it on habré, advise what can be improved in technical terms and in terms of design, those who have downloaded the program on the advice of some of the users asked me for features that they would like to see the program in the near future.

The program PJournal found its audience, although I was very afraid that it will just get lost among dozens of other similar programs.

Inspired by this victory, I decided to develop and improve this product considering the many recommendations and advice that I received. And this development resulted in a new project called Zen Diary (http://zendiary.org).

What is Zen Diary


Zen Diary is your, and only your personal blog with the ability to encrypt notes. The program has an easy and nice interface, not overloaded with unnecessary functions (because many of the diaries represent a trivial text editor with a heap of unnecessary functions) and represents a fully standalone application, so all the notes are personal and they do not have access from anyone except you. Zen Diary you will find a terrible and overloaded WYSIWYG text editor — the program uses the syntax of markdown's syntax, which is familiar to many IT schnick. For those who are not familiar with it, Zen Diary has built-reference rules of the markup, fortunately they are lightweight and comfortable for half an hour. If you don't want to remember the nuances of the syntax, above the edit field are a series of small accurancy of formatting buttons.

help project


The wave PJournal, Zen Diary use only about 800 people. I would love to continue to build a core of users, the more money I have for the program does not apply. And to build a core of users of the desktop program, not SaaS, at times more time consuming. If You can mention about the project somewhere in the network, mention and post my response about it, I'd greatly appreciate it.

If you have a website and You hang a banner to "support domestic producers", I will also leave a link to you.

If you just recommend this diary to their friends, because "this is the most enjoyable to edit and read notes program", my gratitude will know no bounds.

When I write the word gratitude, it means that your name (of course, only with your consent) will be on the website in a special section those who helped with the development of the project.
