Honest answer: The pain of setting up an encrypted container. This seems simple, single use and immediately ready to use after downloading.

Yes, you can definetely can! Currently you can see the location of the .db file on the preferences while your journal is open.

I will improve the experience for this use case in follow up releases, by for example being able to define a arbitrary path for your db file.

Thanks for the feedback!

You certainly can, this is just a different flavor of solving a problem that can be solved in multiple ways.

This is the beauty of it. If it works for you it's great. If this new app works for others, then it's great.

That's a good win-win situation.

As a fellow obsidian user, I wouldn't scoff at a simple app which does one thing well.

I also, myself, had a similar setup some time ago; that's super valid.

yes, that's definitely also a valid approach.

you can certainly do that, indeed.

It's based on a latin word so it should be not that far from the english pronunciation. It would be something like MIN-ee Dee-AIR-ee-um

I think you should be more cautious about relying on the services of a company like Google that can arbitrarily decide to remove your account data or access. Similar, though the person was fortunate enough to regain access: https://hey.paris/posts/appleid/

You can mitigate hardware failure and data loss, especially for a simple key, but you may not be able to prevent Google from deciding your account is gone one day.

Thanks for the feedback! That point is super valid; that's why I created it with multiple authentication slots in mind (currently, it supports both password and public key authentication) so you can use multiple simultaneously and do not need to rely on one single point of failure.

For example, if you set up a password and a key, you can use your key, and if it gets lost or compromised, you can still log in with the password, remove the old key, and generate a new one.

You can do the same in reverse: just use the password and keep the key in a safe place (like a password manager or a physical USB), and if you lose your password, you can still get access with the key.

Thanks again!
