"None of us can get access to your personal data because we are using IndexedDB and localStorage. In fact all your information will be stored only on client side."
Does this mean it's useless for multiple devices or sharing between people? I find these to be the most useful features of evernote. I make notes on my phone to look at later on my computer or share shopping lists with my wife.
I suspect this is where cloud integration comes in, you probably link it to your Dropbox where it will upload your encrypted data, so you can use it from more than one machine?
I'm not actually sure though because I don't actually see any of the synchronization features anywhere in the settings screens.
Yes, the main settings screen has a "Cloud Storage" popup that doesn't exactly jump out at you (I looked at that screen several times before figuring out that's where the RemoteStorage option is). You choose either Dropbox or RemoteStorage. I just tried setting up a remoteStorage server and editing files from two different browsers on the same account, and I have to say, it's pretty buggy. Lots of waiting for the little "syncing" spinner to stop, reloading pages, wondering how I know whether my files have been sent to the server, etc. I did eventually get notes I wrote on one browser to show up in the other, but only after quite a bit of determined reloading and clicking sync repeatedly on both.
This really does look like an ideal application to me (and if nothing else, it introduced me to RemoteStorage, which I have a perfect use for), but I don't think it's ready to trust anything important to yet.
