jot

jot is a daily writing application.

I'm writing this to encourage myself to do more daily note-taking, while also having a custom app I can easily extend and integrate with whatever services I want.

Installation

As of now, the only way to get jot on your system, is to build from source:

git clone https://github.com/terror/jot
bun install
bun tauri build --bundles <target>

The app should be available to use in src-tauri/target/release/bundle.

n.b. You'll need a TIPTAP_PRO_TOKEN set in the environment in order to install the @tiptap-pro/extension-mathematics package.

Development

I'm using Tauri to build this desktop app, Rust is used on the backend and React + TypeScript are used on the frontend.

To get started contributing, first install dependencies:

bun install

Then start the development server:

bun run tauri dev

Expect http://localhost:1420/ to be in use and the desktop app ready to view.

Prior Art

This project is heavily inspired by heynote, a dedicated scratchpad for developers.

jot is my own similar version, giving me more control over what/what not to implement.
