README
Jotter
Jotter is a lightweight, no database, powerful web notebook that lets you create and manage notes online safely, quickly & easily.
See the demo or install it yourself!
Features
- Markdown and WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editors
- organize notes hierarchically
- manage as many notebooks as you want
- multi-user support (currently, notebooks can't be shared between users)
- no DBMS needed. Everything is stored in flat files (JSON & Markdown)
Requirements
- PHP 5.3 or above
- write access to the sub-directory
data/
Install
New install
- Upload it (or
git cloneit) on your server (let's say in/var/www/jotter) - Go to the corresponding URL (lets say
http://www.example.com/jotter)
Update
Currently the update is quite easy:
- (optional) backup your
data/directory up - just overwrite app files with latest version ((or
git pullit) - That's all, folks!
TODO
- Next version:
- remember folded/unfolded folder (will change the save format)
- Following ones:
- Trash bin for deleted notes
- Keep last N versions of each note and restore it on demand
- Option to make some notes/notebooks publicly accessible
- Not sure if possible:
- Sync API (à la Simplenotes?) for desktop/mobile apps
- Share notebooks between users & handle concurrent edit (à la Etherpad?)
- Patch the WYSIWYG and Markdown libraries to enhance behavior and avoid most common rendering problems
