Automated wiki-like notes for your project ideas

January 15, 2023 Oh no! I added to the pile of notes apps

Believe me, I know there are more notes apps than ants on Earth. Why would I make another one?
Well, I couldn't find one that allowed me to write down my project ideas in a way that kept them organised, but didn't interrupt my train of thought.

I find most apps interrupt my trains of thought because they are too complex. On the other side, I love Apple notes. But my notes there are all separate from one another. Great for shopping lists and reminders, not so good for projects.

So what did I make? A wiki-like system where keywords are links to existing notes, but those links are auto-generated.

So if I have a note titled "User" and some text in another note that says "Admins can create users" then "users" will automatically change to a button link.
This is all demo-able (not optimised for mobile) at https://www.otterjot.com

You can also view a snippet of the linked note via a hover pop-up.

This tool is primarily for myself. But, if there is interest I can add user profiles, cloud saves... maaaaybe mobile functionality.

I would love to know what you think!
