# My notes app has crashed and taken all the notes and ideas with it.

Not happy.

      Ah, local backups. Nope, took them with it. But at least I've got backups synced to the cloud, right? Looks like that turned itself off a while ago.

    Jeepers! I am so sorry. I had a similar experience a very long time ago now. Since then, I have refused to save anything written on a computer unless it can save in plain text. Thus, not only portable but also future proof.

      All mine is now going to be automatically saved as .md files in Dropbox. No more local files for me.

    This is my main problem with Ulysses and other otherwise-excellent apps that store your text in a database...

    Yep. I don’t believe in databases for things I trully care about. Been burned too many times. Even everything I post to my blog is created first and a markdown formatted plain text file.
