Praise be to Jotty Page!!

Good afternoon Neighbor! If I may take just a moment of your time, I’d love to share something truly inspiring with you. We live in times where our minds are constantly pulled in a thousand directions by bloated software and endless distractions, but we believe there is a better, more peaceful way to organize your daily life. Have you ever considered the quiet blessing of a truly focused sanctuary for your thoughts?

Jotty offers a serene, distraction-free environment built on the simple clarity of Markdown, allowing you to capture your daily tasks, reflections, and notes with ultimate peace of mind. It keeps your data grounded, pure, and entirely under your own stewardship—free from the clutter and temptation of unnecessary complexity. It can bring structure, clarity, and harmony to your everyday routine. Why don’t you take a quick look at how it can transform your personal workspace today.

Really? The first thing you post is an ad for Jotty?

He could have just replied with a ? to every post instead 🤣

yep, did you like it?

seriously though, been using it lately, been really enjoying it. thought itd be funny if the post read similarly to door to door sales/religious people

Well you succeeded. 😂 I don’t need a new notes app though, I have Obsidian. My forever bae.

i wish i could quite obsidian. i think it might be a coercive relationship. unfortunately everything else sucks worse.

how freaking hard could it possibly be to support markdown files. of greater than 28,000 words. with a live wordcount. and access to the actual system folders???

What a loser. j/k :-D

lmao

I’ve never felt the urge to find anything different since Keep works fine for my short note taking needs. What does Obsidian and Jotty do that might be worth looking at them?

Literally everything.

Where Obsidian genuinely wins:

You own the data. Notes are plain .md files on your disk — readable in any text editor, in 20 years, with no vendor in the loop.

No ceilings. No character limits, no label limits, no note-count problems.

Real structure. Folders, tags, [[wiki links]], backlinks, and graph view turn isolated notes into a network.

Extensibility. Plugins let you build a task manager, a photo catalog, a daily journal, or a Zettelkasten on top of the same vault.

Desktop-first. Native apps on Windows, macOS, and Linux, which matters if you’re at a keyboard all day.

jotty doesnt have plugins at this time but is PWA, and uses a flat file system (no DB) and it also partly compatible with obsidian things
