Nice!
The only drawback I have had for heavily customising it is that it’s now not compatible with the latest versions, unfortunately they’ve re-structured their codebase and I frankly don’t have the time to re-do all my hard work, so I’ve been running a very old (but extremely stable) version of it lol

the wife is so not interested
So relatable… haha
Thanks so much for you work and rest assured amongst the negativity you may receive in certain corners of the web, there are people truly appreciative of yours, and others like you, hard work.
Thank YOU! I am so glad you found Jotty useful and resonated with it!

If you end up installing it, give my theme a go, it’s part of the official ones, just search for
es-theme-animetaverse♥️ - Comment on What should I do with 2 old machines (Mac Mini and HP Pavilion g7)? 2 weeks ago:
Well that specific system could emulate all the way up to ps2, plenty of fun to be had lol I’m sure every single arcade system can be emulated with no issues, may struggle a bit with game cube/wii
Obviously… make sure you only use original copies of your own videogames… you wouldn’t steal a car would you

Thank you :) and that’s still extremely valuable and please feel free to contribute if you feel like it!
I am a “fix it forward” kinda person, worked for a decade in digital agencies and even tho I now work as a tech lead in a slow-ish software engineering company I still have that hectic mentality/background, hard to shake it off you know hahaha
And yeah, I have two kids under 4, so I totally get the whole time consuming part, if it weren’t for my peculiar situation I don’t think I’d get as much done as I do now not gonna lie. AI also helps speed things up, for example I added translation support to Jotty and having Claude tackle half the code base string replacement while I was doing the other half felt like having an intern!!

Actually that was a conscious choice! I initially went for MIT on them as they were small little apps I used withing my house with my wife, but as they grew I decided I wanted to truly protect the open source nature of them
Reading a bit into licensing I learned that with gplv3 projects can be copied/taken without credits/do anything people want with it, just like MIT, however they MUST stay open source.
Which means no greedy corporation can steal my code, improve upon it, close source it and pay wall features :) they can still do all that, but code must always be open source haha

Ha! I kept busy indeed. I am a full time software engineer, so I have a full time job on top of that, yeah.
Aside from the obvious “I work fast”, I had a lot of free evening time this year, won’t get too into it but my child spends a lot of time in hospital. These were a great escape for me (and coding is my hobby, so I mostly do that rather than playing video games or watching TV you know)

Hey! Give jotty.page a try <3
There’s a small bug on mobile where the status changes z-index is going behind the next element but it’s already fixed and will be deployed with the next minor release 💜

Hey, I know you got a ton of replies but yeah, been using searXNG with a custom theme made by me and it’s basically identical to google (including the feeling lucky part lol)
Used it for months and it’s awesome, haven’t missed google at all.
The amazing thing about it is that with an instance of
meilisearchI was able to index all my media libraries/book libraries/game libraries and searching for!home <query>actually sarches within my home lab, which is a huge win for me.Hope this helps give you an idea of how powerful this can be <3

Thank YOU for such a lovely message <3
It’s tough, I get downvoted to hell on reddit whenever I try and propose anything I built, not sure if they think I’m selling something or they just plain hate it, so I really really appreciate messages like this!

- Comment on Finally implemented PGP in Jotty <3 4 weeks ago:
As of version 1.14.3 I have also introduced XChaCha20 encryption (used as default) to allow both symmetric and asymmetric encryption types.
As of version 1.14.3 I have also introduced XChaCha20 encryption (used as default)
This was extremely easy to implement, not gonna lie, bit of research brought me here www.npmjs.com/package/libsodium-wrappers-sumo and from there on it was as simple as doing the UI (which is just a bunch of re-usable components, spent way too much time making sure everything is re-usable).
Now users (and I) can decide which encryption type to use in which situation, win-win i’d say, thank you for pushing me into doing this, it actually makes the whole experience 100x better and you were right in the sense that for a note taking app, a passphrase is just about enough.
- Comment on Finally implemented PGP in Jotty <3 4 weeks ago:
This is all actually very good feedback and a lot to take in and think about, I have no problems in admitting that something can be done in a better way and go back to the drawing board, I’ll admit, I don’t have much experience with neither of the methods you suggested, but a quick Google showed me a world of learning, so I have a lot of reading to do ♥️
P.s. I did read everything that was linked by u/litchralee btw and it was a very good read indeed
Now, onto the why I went for asymmetric encryption is due to the nature of the notes being files on a system rather than stored in a database, my thinking process being "I can use whatever public key I need for whatever note and decrypt them using the right private key at a later time.
Regarding the sharing, my thinking was “you give me a public key, I use it to encrypt the note, share it with you - privately or publicly - and you can use your private key to decrypt it”. Which is why there’s always an option to encrypt with a different public key than the one stored for yourself, I was imagining it just like encrypted emails work frankly. I may have gone a bit too much for overkill lol
I’ll see to implement additional encryption methods, if anything I’m all for choice and letting people decide what to use. There’s also the very selfish answer to your question btw being that… I like PGP and I made jotty mainly for myself hahahaa
- Comment on Finally implemented PGP in Jotty <3 4 weeks ago:
Hi! These are all very valid questions!
The protection boils down to your level of comfort, really, the way I built this is very modular, you can
- Simply generate a key pair by clicking on a simple button (for non power users)
- Import your own keys (if you feel comfortable enough to do it)
- Or simply encrypt with a public key and use your private key when prompted for decryption, this way keys are never stored on the server and all operations happen offline on the browser :)
When exporting notes, if one is encrypted it’ll stay encrypted, of course Lastly, the simple answer is because I know the tech fairly well and understand it enough to comfortably implement it, I wouldn’t want to half ass something, and PGP is an extremely valid form of encryption anyway, and can be very user friendly when implemented properly (as explained above there’s various levels of complexity in place)
Very valid feedback, makes me wonder if I should give people multiple choices of encryption algorithms in future updates ♥️

That is so sweet, I’m glad it’s of help to you! I’m about to open another post about the latest updates so keep an eye out for it <3
- Comment on I didn't want to use AI, so I made something that detects it! 4 weeks ago:
I don’t claim it to be common practice, just saying that it exists. That said, it may be “niche” in the grand scheme of things, but by no means do I think it’s small and insignificant. If anything, such codebases are typically foundational libraries in the giant stack of cards most other software engineers build.
That’s indeed very valid! As I said, I may have been a bit too harsh on the comment rule, definitely one to review properly <3
- Comment on I didn't want to use AI, so I made something that detects it! 4 weeks ago:
Hey! Yeah you are right, I may remove the >20% comments to line of code resulting in the code being 100% AI driven
That said, you are obviously referencing a very niche sector, the vast majority of software engineering doesn’t require that absurd amount of comments… I can’t stress enough how verbose a ratio of 20% comments to lines of code actually is lol
- Comment on jotty·page - Checklists & Notes made it easy 4 weeks ago:
Happy to say as of today encryption is present in Jotty ♥️
- Comment on Looking for opinions on Trilium Notes 4 weeks ago:
Hi! I just randomly stumbled across this as I was searching for an old Jotty post I made (jotty developer here)
This is such a nice feedback to read, thank you! Not sure if you still use Jotty or not but funnily enough I literally went live with pgp encryption today ♥️
- Comment on I didn't want to use AI, so I made something that detects it! 4 weeks ago:
Aw thank you for the kindness ♥️ There’s nothing wrong in verbosity btw, I may have been a bit too harsh on my parameters, I’ll tweak it a little :)
- Comment on I didn't want to use AI, so I made something that detects it! 4 weeks ago:
Regulation is absolutely needed, anyone saying otherwise is just deluded at this point 😅
- Comment on I didn't want to use AI, so I made something that detects it! 4 weeks ago:
100% it would! I think the biggest issue around the AI hate is a total misunderstand of how it works, paired with people using it for the dumbest reasons, actually draining important resources when there’s absolutely no need for it.
I think eventually it’ll be inevitably regulated as the actual shortage of water we’re seeing in the US is unmanageable, and once it does get regulated things will start working way better
p.s. i’m not talking about local models, I doubt these would ever be regulated and they SHOULDN’T, I’m talking about how many resources a company that allows AI usage should be able to utilise, mostly.
- Comment on I didn't want to use AI, so I made something that detects it! 4 weeks ago:
Hi, yeah! For sure! Indeed the world is not black and white! But even with weight, take everything with a pinch of salt <3
- Comment on I didn't want to use AI, so I made something that detects it! 4 weeks ago:
Hey! Thank you for testing it out, I think in my head, even the most verbose of dev wouldn’t leave >20% of comments in their codebase. The percentage works on a ratio of
(commentsCount / linesOfCode) * 100so it doesn’t just flag “a lot of comments”, it mostly checks for “too many comments”, that said, the “use common sense” at the top needs to be taken quite seriously, for example if there’s a majority of comments but none of the comments feel like written by AI, it’s clearly just the developer being verbose :)p.s. I find AI is pretty damn good at making docker compose files, it’s probably gonna work just fine <3

Sorry yeah, it’s just for uploading. I tried to add a download for folders without having to zip it (i also hate having to unzip it myself) but it really makes the whole process extremely slow, I’ll keep trying, it’s a VERY niche thing, would definitely make this even more unique tho haha
