Jot stuff down without messing up your workspace!

Jot

Jot is a tool that helps you take notes in your terminal without leaving files lying around in your project's directory. It does this by grouping all your notes (a.k.a. jots) under a "tracked" workspace. Your "jots" are actually stored in an sqlite db and can be viewed inside directories that they were created in using jot's commands. All jots are opened in the default editor (you can change it using update-alternatives)

You can download a binary (for linux) from here (don't forget to mark it as 'executable').

jot's Issues

Use todo-txt and notes addon for storing jot data.

We can consider using the todo-txt format with the notes addon as a backend for jot

Add github sync

Feature to be able to sync with github or any cloud based git repository will add better persistence.
