S3 Diary

S3 Diary is a journalling/diary app that runs in your browser and stores your writing directly to your own AWS S3 bucket.

Ownership first

Instead of storing your writing in a 3rd party database your writing is stored directly to your own S3 bucket. Your writing is always safe and accessible in your AWS account.

Safety

S3 (Simple Storage Service) is reliable, versioned, secure, and very cheap. Storing 500 copies of War and Peace would cost $0.023 per month. You'd have to be quite keen on journalling before it became expensive.

How do I get started?

• You need an AWS account.
• Create a user in IAM such as "diary".
• Give the new user the permissions "AmazonS3FullAccess" to keep it simple, or lock it down to ListBucket, PutObject, and GetObject for the specific bucket.
• Create API credentials and download them.
• Visit the app and enter your API credentials:
