Jotter

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

  1. Upload it (or git clone it) on your server (let's say in /var/www/jotter)
  2. Go to the corresponding URL (lets say http://www.example.com/jotter)

Update

Currently the update is quite easy:

  1. (optional) backup your data/ directory up
  2. just overwrite app files with latest version ((or git pull it)
  3. 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 (ร  la Simplenotes?) for desktop/mobile apps
    • Share notebooks between users & handle concurrent edit (ร  la Etherpad?)
    • Patch the WYSIWYG and Markdown libraries to enhance behavior and avoid most common rendering problems
