Hi, This is my first post here, quite intimidating indeed :')
I initially shared this on reddit and yesterday found the courage to share it on !selfhosted@lemmy.world , and one of the members suggested I’d also post here, so here we go!
A couple of months ago 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 open source, 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’ll take a look. Just a heads up, though - the J logo resembles the one for Joplin.
Hey, thank you for the heads up, I just checked it… I mean… the only resemblance is that they are both J - with very different fonts at that.
Pretty sure nobody would get the two confused, so it should be all good ❤️
Good, I’m perhaps a little over cautious.
demo login says invalid username or password. Is it possible someone changed the password on the demo account?
No, it’s not possible, also data resets every half hour… I just logged in
