v2023.8 is out. Yes, they've changed their version numbering system to Year.#.

It's the best journaling app that is more than just writing. It reduces the friction of developing a good journaling habit. Its UX and UI are pleasant, and it helped me stick to journaling.

Good app but support from the devolopers is awful. I've emailed them 3 times over the last 6 months about syncing and still haven't heard back.
