Requests
Offline or local-only mode
From 1 comment
Is there an offline-only mode that does not access a server or collect data? I could see using this as a local-only way to keep organized without needing any cloudy features.

Web or desktop version, not only mobile
From 2 comments
The app looks nice but I hate doing any kind of data entry on an app. You might consider making a web based version, then it could be accessed on desktop as well.

Does the app support email addresses with a + sign or non-.com domains?
From 2 comments
I tried to to use the app but cannot, since it does not accept my e-mail address which contains a + sign
ratiolat on HNIt can't accept email address that does not end with .com. My email address ends with .space.
