I'm trying to get it so a user can view only the Daily Entries that belong to them, and even I—as the application editor—can't see anyone's entries but my own. Not sure if I can do that with the existing options.

Maybe I can check their "clone this" lessons for an app that does something similar. The DropBox one might have similar functionality. After all, the files users save should be visible only to them when they're logged in, and not even to DropBox staff, no?

Doesn't seem like it, though. They leave it up to us to create our desired privacy rules, but the rules in their Privacy doc mention nothing about preventing someone with Admin privileges from seeing user data.

A Bubble forum discussion suggests this isn't doable without involving an external database service.

In a separate thread, contributor NigelG suggests encrypting the data externally, then storing it on Bubble.io or a 3rd party database. Another solution is at Not showing sensitive (decrypted) user info in logs.

This looks like it would be time-consuming and not worth it, given the stage I'm in, where the goal is to validate an idea ASAP.

I'll make a note to revisit this feature once people are clamoring to sign up for my ultravaluable app. Writers do need to track their word counts in a way that drives them to reach for their goals... true? Or maybe not. Or maybe not in the specific way I've imagined. Such is the conundrum.

Hence the experiment and the need to get feedback sooner than later.
