As of version 1.14.3 I have also introduced XChaCha20 encryption (used as default) to allow both symmetric and asymmetric encryption types.
Hi all!
Just wanted to give an update as it's been about two months since the last post I made about Jotty - see it here
We are approaching end of year and I just want to thank this amazing community for the huge support I have received, it has sincerely given me an amazing escape from a lot of shit stuff I had going on in my life (and still, unfortunately, do).
For anyone not knowing about Jotty, the tl;dr is this little snippet here from the readme:
A self-hosted app for your checklists, tasks and notes.
jotty·page is a lightweight alternative for managing your personal checklists and notes.
It's extremely easy to deploy, keeps all your data on your own server with your own file
structure (no databases!) and allows you to encrypt/decrypt your notes for your personal
peace of mind.
Last thing I want is people thinking this post is AI, so I won't give a full on sales pitch, but a bit of context is always needed I suppose lol
You can read about it more on the repo: https://github.com/fccview/jotty
And here's the website with the demo in case you want to play around with it before installing it: https://jotty.page/
Anyhow, PGP encryption has been a much requested feature, for a few months actually, but I didn't want to rush something as delicate as that, so I took my time and I think it's working pretty neatly, passphrase is never stored on the server, private/public key can be generated straight from Jotty or you can import your own/mount them from whatever folder you want on your system on read only.
There's also a ton of new features since the last post two months ago, but this is the one I'm the most excited about.
Let me know what you all think about the feature and Jotty in general and I'll see you in the comments <3
As of version 1.14.3 I have also introduced XChaCha20 encryption (used as default)
This was extremely easy to implement, not gonna lie, bit of research brought me here https://www.npmjs.com/package/libsodium-wrappers-sumo and from there on it was as simple as doing the UI (which is just a bunch of re-usable components, spent way too much time making sure everything is re-usable).
Now users (and I) can decide which encryption type to use in which situation, win-win i'd say, thank you for pushing me into doing this, it actually makes the whole experience 100x better and you were right in the sense that for a note taking app, a passphrase is just about enough.
