Jotty is a modern web app for developers to save, organize and share code snippets, useful links and technical notes. Build faster with organized code snippets.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built Jotty because I kept running into the same frustrating problem as a developer:
• Writing a useful snippet and forgetting where I saved it
• Losing great technical links in messy bookmarks
• Rewriting code I knew I had already built before
I wanted a tool that’s fast, distraction-free, and built specifically for developers, not another generic notes app.
⸻
What’s new & unique
• Instant saving of snippets, links, and notes
• Tag + custom collection organization for zero-friction search
• One-click public or private sharing
• Minimal UI built for focus, not clutter
Unlike alternatives, Jotty is designed around developer workflows first, it’s not an adapted note-taking tool, but a dedicated technical knowledge base.
⸻
What I’m most proud of
I built Jotty solo, from concept to launch, using Vue.js, Tailwind CSS, Firebase, and Stripe.
Every detail, from the UI to the performance, is optimized for speed so you can save and find what you need in seconds.

💬 I’d love to hear from you
• How do you currently store and find your code snippets?
• What would make you switch to a new tool for this?
Thanks for checking it out! 🚀

Looks great - the name and branding are nice.
Have you considered providing an open source version that can be self hosted? For me, I prefer to keep my code snippets on my devices for peace of mind, so self-hosted or some sort of local access is a must. I was using Snippet Box (https://github.com/pawelmalak/snippet-box) before, but it's been discontinued.
If you decide to go the open source/self-hosted route, you can still monetize the service by offering premium features with a subscription (look at Baserow and Standard Notes for examples). You would also be able to share Jotty at https://reddit.com/r/selfhosted, which could help bring more exposure.
Congrats on the launch, excited to see where you take Jotty from here!

@smjburton Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback and for taking the time to check out Jotty!
I really love your suggestion, it’s definitely a great idea, and I can see how a self-hosted option would be valuable for many developers.
I’ll be adding it to the “Coming Soon” section of the landing page so everyone knows it’s on the roadmap.
Really appreciate your support, and I’m excited to share more updates soon!
By the way, the Chrome extension is already in progress and currently pending validation by Google.
