You can download and install Jorts from various sources:
Jorts is a cute simple little notes app, and i wanna keep it this way
right now im working on:
- Maybe an option to show window title buttons, because now this is on flathub i may get flak from users about the lack of it
- Probably some cleaner code if i come around to it
- Maybe a toggle lists if i find how to do it without more UI noise
Feel free to check the project board
On the right you can donate to various contributors:
- teamcons, the main devs and maintainers behind jorts
- wpkelso, the author of the modern icon and its Pride variant
- lains, the initial creator of the app (It was Notejot, now something very different)
Installation is as simple as installing the above, downloading and extracting the zip archive, changing to the new repo's directory, and run the following command:
On elementary OS or with its appcenter remote installed
flatpak-builder --force-clean --user --install-deps-from=appcenter --install builddir ./io.github.ellie_commons.jorts.yml
On other systems:
flatpak run org.flatpak.Builder --force-clean --sandbox --user --install --install-deps-from=flathub --ccache --mirror-screenshots-url=https://dl.flathub.org/media/ --repo=repo builddir io.github.ellie_commons.jorts.flathub.yml
Notes are stored in ~/.var/app/io.github.ellie_commons.jorts/data
You can get it all by entering in a terminal:
