Due to the amazing Obsidian project, there is no need for this project to continue. Obsidian does everything this could do and a lot more.
If you want to have an encrypted Obsidian instance, just use Cryptomator + Dropbox or Google Drive.
I built it as a free and open replacement for The Journal by DavidRM, which I have used for many years. The main issues I wanted to solve were better styling, and the ability to know that my entries are safe for the long-term, with an open and known database format.
