Hi, This is my first post here, pretty intimidating! haha

I shared this on reddit, and one of my community members told me this is a good place to also share it, so here we go!

A couple of months back I have built a checklist/note taking app for myself and called it rwMarkable, posted it on reddit and a lot of people seemed to resonate to it, so I kept adding new features and enjoying the small but very involved community that has built around it.

For anyone who hasn’t heard of the project before, here’s a quick bullet list of some features:

  • Checklists: Create task lists with drag & drop reordering, progress bars, and categories. Supports both simple checklists and advanced task projects with Kanban boards and time tracking.
  • Text Notes: A clean WYSIWYG editor for your notes, powered by TipTap with full Markdown support and codeblock syntax highlighting.
  • Sharing: Share checklists or notes with other users or publicly with shareable links.
  • File-Based: No database needed! Everything is stored in simple Markdown and JSON files in a single data directory.
  • User Management: An admin panel to create and manage user accounts with session tracking.
  • Customisable: 14+ built-in themes plus easy custom theme support.
  • API Access: Programmatic access to your checklists and notes via REST API with authentication for various integrations.
  • OIDC integration: Use any provider to authenticate, follow this tutorial on how to

There have been a lot of requests to change the name due to it sounding a little too close to reMarkable (the tablet - which, btw, i had no idea existed at the time lol) and after getting some amazing community suggestions we landed on jotty.

You can find all the info (and a demo) here: https://jotty.page/

You can find the repo here: https://github.com/fccview/jotty

Let me know what you think, the app is very much still in development and every week new features get added (that said, I really value the simplicity and lightweight nature of it, so I will not add anything that compromises it).

Few screenshots

p.s. Nice to meet you all <3

    Hey some folks responded here which is great! For me, I think wiki and tracker are perfect like someone else mentioned, because a lot of folks without accounts can still access the knowledge created. The hard part is moderating of course. I’m not sure there is a perfect solution.

    Ultimately, you’re producing something cool for the community and you get to set the terms for that; if discord is easy and sustainable, I prefer that to you doing anything else that isn’t sustainable to see the project through as long and vibrantly as you can. So in that sense just choose what makes sense.

    So in short: do what makes sense for you and if one of the alternatives listed (maybe wiki it seems? That would be cool with me) works then that’s great!

    I guess I’ll also plug forgejo or codeberg at this time haha

    Edit: I’ll also say, more folks here for discussion is cool too, and good to have you posting and hope to see more discussion around it in the future here!

      Hey thank you so very much!

      Yeah, you said it best! I take all suggestions on board but ultimately I won’t do anything that is to my detriment, between work and family (with two very very young kids) I have little time to spare haha my precious evenings should go to fun coding and not admin, I do enough of that at work as is lol

      Still getting used to the layout here, feel like I am missing a lot of replies, but yeah, wiki seems to be a very manageable solution for now, GitHub wiki is what I’m leaning towards :)
