- This is distinct from the non-portable Simplenote program we've discussed before -- instead, this is the service that underpins the program and a number of related tools.
- The service is free, excellent, and super easy. It's a great starter note program that I still recommend, but not for intensive, frequent, long-term use.
I've seen some recent issues with some important notes getting auto-deleted. This includes a LOT of tools, links, and other functions I had been stacking up to post here on the site, which is a bit painful as I wonder what got lost.
I suspect its because I've been using this for years now and used up my available data / bandwidth / allotment for this program, which I certainly understand. It's a free service, I use it all the time, and I know free services should have a limit. The problem here is there's no notice to let me know I'm approaching my limit, the opportunity to buy a premium service.
Anyway, I'll be switching over to a similar service that does have a premium offer "Standard Notes" https://standardnotes.org both because it talks a bit more about security and also syncronizes with the excellent AlephNote editor. It also has a backup function that I'll definitely be looking into to try and avoid any more lost ideas and info.

Some of you may point out that AlephNote may be an issue because 3rd party apps can be part of the problem (example) but in this case I was:
1. Accessing the web interface, no other app open apart from the mobile software
2. Clicking "restore" on files in the deleted folder
3. Having them re-add themselves to the deleted folder
