Hey HN,

We're excited to share the Beta launch of BlinkDisk, a new desktop backup app designed for everyone, whether you're a techie or just someone who wants a simple way to keep their files safe.

We built BlinkDisk because we felt most backup tools were either too clunky, too technical, or too locked-in. Here’s what makes BlinkDisk different:

- Modern & Minimalistic: BlinkDisk sports a clean, distraction-free interface. Just open it and back up – no clutter, no confusion.

- User-Friendly: You don’t need to be tech-savvy. It’s designed to "just work" for anyone.

- Fair Source: BlinkDisk is built in the open, giving you full transparency and control.

- End-to-End Encrypted: Your files are encrypted before they leave your machine. No compromises.

- Managed Cloud Available: Want a fully managed experience? BlinkDisk Cloud gets you up and running instantly.

- Self-Hostable: Prefer control? Bring your own cloud credentials (S3, etc.) and host your backups on your own terms.

- Cross-Platform: BlinkDisk works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

We're officially in Beta, and we'd love for you to try it out and share your thoughts!
