Printed quarterly and annual reports are a strong feature
From 2 comments
The "Receive beautifully printed quarterly & annual reports with highlights and statistics." isn't prominent enough. To me, this is the killer feature - I've wanted this for…
tylermenezes on HNI love the idea of the printed book being sent out each quarter - that's very cool! Scrapbookers would love that.

Useful as a digital journal replacement
From 2 comments
I got a letter in the mail recently that I wrote to myself almost 10 years ago. It was only one page long but it's ridiculous how much it moved me. I wrote about my relationship…
CyrusL on HNBeautiful! Well done! Hopefully, it will be a good replacement for paper journal. Would greatly look forward to the iPad release!

Objections
Privacy concerns about storing personal data in the cloud
From 3 comments
I can see how a "life recorder" sounds appealing, and even genuinely useful. But shouldn't we also think about how much mischief and damage could be done to your life if someone…
alister on HNI'd be much happier if it only kept records locally, or had the option. As creepy as... every social network has gotten, I want my privacy and anonymity back. As interesting, and…

What's the business model ensuring the "forever" part?

Unclear why someone would want to record everything
From 1 comment
Ok... so I get what the app does, but why would I want to use it? Why would I want to capture every single moment of my life, regardless of importance, forever? What do I care…

Design resembles Path too closely
From 2 comments
Love the addition of printed reports (revenue!) but this seems (quite literally looks) like Path in terms of the layout. Given that you are pulling from other networks and adding…

Requests
Export data automatically to Dropbox or similar
From 2 comments
Is it possible to export all the data to a service like dropbox automatically, so that if you do disappear, it really is forever?
josephagoss on HNWhat does "Store it forever" mean? Would it automatically send me a formatted archive of my entries (say every week or month)? Send me a file that is automatically uploaded to…

I totally understand that and it lines up with what I thought when I first saw the story in the front page. I think a good way to mitigate that fear is for this guys to open…
