What is Jottit?
Jottit is a web application by the fine folks at bitbots.net that, in their own words, “makes getting a website as easy as filling out a textbox.”
Jottit essentially keeps bits of formatted text on pages, stored on the web, with various options for privacy control. It can be a brilliant note-keeping system.
What is Jottit X?
Jottit X is, most simply, a stylesheet, which makes Jottit feel more at home as a note-keeping application on Mac OS X. It was built for the latest version of WebKit—the rendering engine in Safari. It has not (yet) been tested in other rendering engines.
It looks like this:
Jottit X is not currently actively being worked on. But if you have some neat improvements you'd like to share, feel free to send them my way.
How do I use it?
Jottit X is flexible, but a little complicated to use. I recommend that you use Jottit X with Fluid, though you can theoretically use Jottit with any WebKit browser that allows you to set custom stylesheets.
Using Jottit X/Fluid
- Start a page at Jottit. Be sure to give it a URL you like.
- Download and install Fluid.
- Download Jottit X.
- Using Fluid, create a Site Specific Browser for
http://*.jottit.com/orhttp://jottit.com/*—replace the star with whatever your Jottit URL is, of course. - Find your Jottit browser in Finder. Right-click or ctrl-click on it and select “Show Package Contents”
- Replace the file Contents/Resources/default.css with the default.css from Jottit X.
