@avz @masump thanks a lot! we tried our best to have useful prompts that can help you get started!
By the way, we have a Discord where we welcome anyone that has features suggestions (as simple as a new prompt!) or to report any issues, or just to hang out and share journaling tips and tricks!
@avz what does this do that i cant do in Obsidian? which is free and open and amazing.

@nina_computer thanks for the engagement! With Jots you also get: journaling prompts, a weekly AI digest based on your professional situation (job, exp, goal), weekly streaks (+ more to come). Jots is really tailor made for dev journaling. Feel free to give it a try to compare with Obisidian. And if there are any features you feel are missing, please do give us feedback.
@avz This doesn't feel like a something we any real need. And asdevs we already use Obsidian, Notion, Hashnode, Ghost, Medium, VS Code, whatever. Really don't want or need another writing tool that's trying to charge to gamify or add gimmicks to what is just a free or easy AI wrapper feature.
Cool project for you and your friends to make but as a product? There's not really a need for this and I doubt anyone will ever pay for it. Are you sure you want to invest time and money into this?

@nina_computer thanks for sharing your personal opinion. When discussing with other devs and performing our product research, built-in gamification and actionable insights and prompting are important to build and maintain a habit such as journaling. There are people out there who have never journaled in their life and might want to pick up a new habit. Our app provides an easy onboarding to journaling with quick feedback loops to get inspired to keep writing and working towards your goals. Others might already be proficient in journaling and have their own tools already for writing, they are free to use those or use ours, which is tailored for dev jorunaling, that is fine too.
At the end of the day, as founders we are building this app as we have a need for it, and we keep getting value from using it. Because we find value in it, we want to share it with others. And we made the code Open Source so anyone is free to modify the tool to fulfill their own needs. For us, this is sufficient means to keep investing in this product. We have a big roadmap ahead, so the tool will only grow from here.
I think Jots is such a good idea :))
A journaling app made for devs that actually helps you grow. UI is Clean and simple! Best of luck w/ the launch!

@cranqnow thanks for the support!
@avz Anytime!
I really like how this isn’t just about taking notes but about growing intentionally as a developer. The idea of having a second brain just for dev goals makes a lot of sense. Helps keep my motivation up and reminds me of how far I’ve come.

@anish_hessa thanks for validating one of the core intentions when building this tool!
