# Jotter

![Jotter](http://www.yosko.net/data/images/jotter.png)

Jotter is a lightweight, no database, powerful web notebook that lets you create and manage notes online safely, quickly & easily.

See [the demo](http://tools.yosko.net/demos/jotter/) 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 (à la Simplenotes?) for desktop/mobile apps
- Share notebooks between users & handle concurrent edit (à la Etherpad?)
- Patch the WYSIWYG and Markdown libraries to enhance behavior and avoid most common rendering problems
