A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Kind and understanding friends with shared nerdy interests, I am here to present once more Jotty to yours truly!

The latest release features Tags and it's something I have been planning for months (since it was first requested) due to being way too worried about messing up with the simplicity of the app.

For anyone unaware, Jotty is a note taking/checklist app that keeps notes in your file system, no databases needed, no overhead, no complexity. It has everything you may want from a note taking app, packaged in a very simple and easy to understand UI (in my view also pretty polished, but it's not like I've extensively obsessed over every single detail or anything like that at all lol).

You can find a bunch of info about Jotty in the article I wrote on noted.lol where I go in depth on why I started the project, what kind of advanced features it offers and way WAY too much info about my personal life.

For anyone interested in performance, the app is actually fairly lightweight, I'm not just throwing that word around because AI told me to, I swear! The docker image is about 400mb (most of the weight is due to Alpine, the actual app is little over 100mb in size), couldn't get it to use more than 150mb of ram while active, haven't seen it go over 0% in cpu usage. If you don't believe me you can believe our friends in the proxmox community scripts .

Hope you like it, feel free to ask any questions <3
