Awesome project. I am a big fan of Tailwind CSS to and I use it for my current project [1]. I will definitely make use of Tailwind.run() to as a playground to design components! Great job!

Your project is a bit similar to mine and I am very curious about how you use Blockstack.

I have been hosting a CouchDB instance myself on a VPN but considered moving to Firebase while prototyping since it seems easier to use. Considering Firebase since it offers offline-first support. However, only today I was made aware of Blockstack and I have seen it mentioned multiple places.

How do you like working with Blockstack and what made you choose it? Does your app work offline? Does it synchronize automatically between devices?

I also want to take data privacy very seriously, since I am dealing with personal and sensitive data (just like a person's journal is very sensitive to them).

Blockstack is very easy to get started with and provide user authentication and encrypted data storage out of the box.

About offline-mode, I am about to implement it by my side as this feature is not part of the Blockstack SDK for now.

I am happy that you are taking data privacy very seriously and I guess Blockstack is a good solution to go.
