Agreed! An invite would really be helpful!

Notational Velocity on the Mac, even if it isn't updated it still quickly stores and organizes (good for rough or final works). I'll use TextEdit or iA Writer if I need to actually work with the note or to publish. Sadly at least once a month I still need to use Office for Mac for something.

I don't personally have a need to save or insert data, images, or other content. If I really need to I'll insert the online URL or the location on my server in the note. Which makes a basic solution the best solution for me.

I also use iA Writer on my iPhone synced with iCloud for on the go access, and writing *nothing personal/private for security, secure notes are encrypted and accessed online or I use a physical air gap between machines I need it on.

Just got my postcard as well! Sadly no signatures but lots of stickers. I love me some stickers. Really enjoying their service so far, and with them I can actually visually see what's happening (encryption and uploading) whereas SpiderOak makes it less clear / obvious.

I learned my lessons with Dropbox, but couldn't find anything as "simple", secure with the bonus of being Canadian. So I eventually found and switched to SpiderOak but the speeds and Mac client are truly terrible, even at the end of 2016 and start of 2017. I couldn't even complete half a backup. Small files are fine but large files were impossible.

Switched to Sync.com a Toronto based company, with only Canadian servers. That means a lot to me as I've tried to remove myself from storing on American servers (just out of good practice on my part), and the service and support has been spectacular. I tried other options as well and this won me over.

Mobile friendly would be a major point too especially if someone is looking you up on the go. That way you at least have a working fallback.

Looks good from my brief overview, my only concern with these types of things are.

What happens when you are offline, does it resort to the last download? Are the downloads stored or fetched each time? Currently I store all my wallpapers in my iCloud Preview folder (helps with syncing multiple Macs and 1,250 wallpapers) and then just manually download daily from whichever sites, I'm sure I could automate that easil...

However I'd rather grab them myself than a script just for overall security, just in case, type situation.

Could be helpful if you allowed multiple sites to grab from either have a built in list or provide your own link. Keep it up.

NordVPN allows access to Netflix (American) if you want, even connecting to say a Canadian server gives you access automatically. Hasn't been blocked In the year I've used it, works great, fast and always get 1080P streams.

Torrents on the other hand, I've been having connection issues to other peers. Not sure what's up there.

As somebody that lives quite literally half way between Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa the closest town (one I also live in) still doesn't have fiber and barely proper Cable/DSL. They have the TO-MTL Bell fiber backbone going along the Heritage Highway (the St. Lawrence River) Everything is over Cable here. 250/20 Mbps and Unlimited data is over $130 a month, but not everybody in the city can get that. Most of the city is still on old Bell copper which is just DSL speeds. 6/.5 Mbps "maybe" and if you want to use your phone at the same time the line being so old and congested you will probably get dropped.

The second house I live at is 15 KM north of this city. I have no Bell (copper of any kind), no Cable... Just Hydro. Meaning my next bet is to installed a 80'-100' tower and do Wireless Internet (2.4 GHz and 5.6 GHz technology). 6/.85 with a soft cap of 200 GB at $66 a month or 10/1 with a soft cap of 200 GB for $100 (this is only for certain Sectors which are suitable, luckily I am one of them).

This is on top of paying monthly for the equipment rental or buying it out right. The towers alone can cost $1,000+ (it was $250 just to have it anchored with guide wires). Let's not even get started on Ping Speeds I'm thankfully between 30 ms to 150 ms on average. But I've hit over 1500 ms on days, and Rain Effect (especially being in Canada where it snows A LOT) makes connections almost impossible.

Though I would love the CRTC to do something of this, I'm sure I don't qualify as "Remote" or "Rural" enough. It's a scam really (3ish major providers with 1% or so it seems of actual coverage) and if you work from home you are literally out of luck. Especially when within a 25 KM radius there are only TWO cell phone towers. The one that is closest that provides the best signal and speeds is slightly off on its pointed degree and angle so I can't pick it up so I receive the farthest cell tower away which gives me about 1 bar of 3G, I'm often on 2G (which will be shut off soon) and rarely LTE. Then if I do use my cellular data that's $52 per ONE GB over your plan. Its a pointless battle.

I understand most of the population lives within a few hours of the border, and "remote and rural" are priorities but even people 20 minutes away from big cities have it rougher than most think. Something needs to be done.
