Unless I know you, I can&amp;#x27;t trust that you won&amp;#x27;t read my emails. (I trusted the previous startup that did it because we&amp;#x27;d funded them.)&lt;p&gt;How do you solve the &amp;quot;won&amp;#x27;t read my emails&amp;quot; problem ?&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve seen the statement in your website:&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; Your data stored and transferred securely. No one will ever read or process your notes even the staff. Your data belongs to you and can be easily exported in preferable format by request.&lt;p&gt;But once the data leaves the browser there is no way to know, wouldn&amp;#x27;t you consider to partner with Gmail(or others) and appear as an addon to an already trusted company in order to start off the business ?</text></comment>

I bet that there&amp;#x27;s even someone seeing this right now pissed off that they didn&amp;#x27;t finish first.&lt;p&gt;Great design. Where&amp;#x27;d you get your little illustrations?</text></comment>
