From Matt Mullenweg’s talk at WordCamp Canada:

Day One is a fully encrypted synchronized blogging and journaling app, that runs on every device and the web, and you can have shared journals with others. It’s the first place I go to draft an idea, or for example, to write this talk.

This was a little surprising to me. In a way, it matches the workflow I sometimes use in Micro.blog. I use our private, encrypted notes feature to jot down ideas or write a draft, then move it into a blog post. But most of the time I just start right with a draft post.

@manton Since when was Day One a blogging app/ service? 🤷‍♂️

@thisness Right, I don’t think of it that way. But I can see how journaling could be part of a blogging workflow.

@manton Yeah I suppose so

@jkratz @manton Indeed. Yes that’s true. I was was pondering the lack of WP integration the other day at the same time as thinking ‘whatever happened to Simplenote?!’ I still use it. What ain’t broke don’t need fixing I guess 🤷‍♂️

@jkratz @thisness That is strange. Seems like a no-brainer to integrate Day One publishing and WordPress. Even Micro.blog has Day One export in the Mac app. 🙂

@manton I didn’t realize Automattic had bought Day One.

@jkratz the lack of basic integration of Automattic tools is a huge missed opportunity. I keep asking them about it and get crickets.

@jkratz yeah, let’s not hold our breath. But it’s a little encouraging that MM is actually talking about it
