I got tired of fighting with note-taking systems. Every time I tried a system like PARA or Johnny Decimal, I'd spend too much energy thinking about filing notes plus when I needed to find something, I'd forget which bucket I put it in and end up grep-ing for it anyway.
So I built Jotit, a command-line app that just lets me dump notes quickly without thinking about where they go. I then use AI for search and to create summaries. Now I can query my notes in instead of trying to remember my past filing logic. Plus the summaries works surprisingly well: I can take messy notes all week and get a clean work summary on Friday.
