Glad to see another simplenote user in the wild! I’ve been using it for years, absolutely love it.

For me it’s not just the automatic syncing, but having a good app on all platforms that I really like using.

On my Mac, I also run a script that commits the simplenote db to git every hour or so and pushes it to Github. It's basically like a JSON file. So I don’t worry about simplenote getting shut down.
