Personally, AI for writing is in the same corner as the other pathologies you've listed (popularity counts etc), so it's not for me. But some folks will see that differently.
I hear you, and I share a big part of that opinion on AI writing. From the feedback I got from some folks before, it seemed to be something many were interested in, which is why I designed it to be very aid-like, and less to generate content fully from scratch and post automatically: essentially spamming.
I am not very sold on the AI tool and am very open to removing it with more such opinions!
Typically I'm not the one to suggest this on hobby projects being made into a product bc you gotta make money somehow to support this and I respect that to some appreciable degree.
I also hear you about the making money part, and I largely agree.
This product does provide a bit more of a structured approach without any of the self-hosting/coding difficulty which I think would have a wider market appeal.
Thank you! Yes, Jottings was built for anyone, even with no tech experience, to set up and have a site where they may post their thoughts to the world.
Personally this kind of thing is just always gonna be self hosted or local only, but I see the appeal for folks who don't have that option
Brief off-topic greybeard cloud yell: I hate that we've all adopted the colloquial use of "algorithm".
Although it's interesting to imagine whether software is even possible with "no algorithm" :)
I hope that the appeal is real for a good bunch of folks.
Haha! You gave me a chuckle! And a totally fair yell! :) Valid CS philosophical musings aside, may be I should be a bit more specific to something like "personalized feed ranking".
Could you help me with what device and screen size you find it cluttered? Which of these do you find cluttered on your tablet? - Landing page: https://jottings.me - Dashboard: https://dashboard.jottings.me - A Jottings Site: Example: https://jottingsjottings.me
It is not human-readable and not extracted from the post (jot) itself because the post may be edited and over time, may go out of sync.
But, I am open to allowing this setting to be adjusted per site, where the site owner may choose to go with a human-readable ID that is extracted from the jot content.
Is your need more the stable permanent link to a jot, or a human readable permanent one, @gradientsrneat?
Other than that, I really like it. I hope this becomes a trend, and stays this way.
