Nice app, but I already use something similar: stickit.com. How is this different from stikkit?

  stikkit is cool, but doesn't quite hit the nail we're aiming for. It turns out to be another wiki product, similar to BaseCamp, while Jjot is a light-weight WYSIWYG notes application. Try playing with Jjot for a few minutes to see what I mean. An example: To edit one of my notes on Stikkit, I have to - scan through the titles of my notes - guess which one contains the info I need, click it, (hit back and click again if I'm wrong) - find a small "edit" button somewhere on the page - wait for the page to reload - enter some text using some markup language - hit save With Jjot: - scan the contents of my notes (they're all on the same page, fully editable) - Edit the one I'm looking for, using a visual editor That's it. No save buttons to worry about, no markup language (Jjot uses a rich text editor), and everything is on the same page. It really is sticky notes on the web. I think Stikkit is a promising product, but I wouldn't say it meets the same needs as Jjot. If I wanted something heavier than Jjot, I might consider Stikkit, BaseCamp, or maybe an online word processor like writewith. I also find it mildly annoying that they label my contacts "peeps," but to each his own.

    Thanks for the reply. I definitely like the easier to use aspect of jjot, but to make it really convenient (and win me over), it would be nice to have a dashboard widget for OSX that would let me see my notes in the dashboard, but save them on the web to be able to edit/access them at e.g. work.
