Looks nice. I'm curious though: the site mentions that everything is synced through the Cloud. Did you use iCloud or is it a home-grown solution - or something else? Sync is hard - and I've found iCloud sync in practice is still pretty hard.

Hi and thank you for the complement.

It's all home-grown solution. Sync was definitely hard but it was one of my top priorities from the very beginning. Though it definitely still needs a bit of an improvement but it's working beautifully at the moment.

Congratulations! I think sync is much easier when it's done up front rather than bolted on later.

I'm wondering if sync might have stalled the Momento guys - they had big plans for Android and iPad versions but haven't brought anything out besides small fixes in over a year. (Disclosure: I'm in the iOS diary space too).
