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
I’m getting a Cloudflare error trying to access your demo site.
Also, do you support back linking? That’s a feature that’s very important to me.
Should be back, of course everything went down while I was asleep, the joys 🤦♂️ By back linking you mean offline cache that links to a server when back online? If so, no, not yet at least
Backlinking is when you link to a page, it links back.
For example, if I have a daily journal, I can say
Fixed a problem with my [[Raspberry Pi]] setup...and then a few weeks later I can sayFound a new use for [[Raspberry Pi]]..., etc.Now when I go to the Raspberry Pi page, it shows me a list of times I’ve linked to the page and the context.
I use this all the time with Logseq, but I find Logseq pretty unpolished, infrequently updated, etc., so I’m always on the lookout for something nicer.
have you tried silverbullet? https://silverbullet.md/
Oh yeah, that’s not a feature yet. There’s an open feature request for this and I’ll definitely implement it, may take a bit of time to do.
Would you be able to give me a couple of screenshots on what the context looks like? I just had a simple “mentioned 2 times” with links on where it was mentioned in mind, but full on context sounds way better, I’m curious to see how that works (totally not copying :P)
