Jot

A powerful system for leaving yourself memos.

Here's how it works:

• Hit an OS-wide key combination to bring up Jot prompt
• Start typing the note.

• Jot completes things based on its idea of what you are trying to type.

  • EXAMPLE: You type someone's name, it will cross reference a contact in your contacts repository
  • EXAMPLE: You start typing a url, and Jot will x-ref something from your bookmarks

  • EXAMPLE: You type a location and Jot will create a link to google maps

  • ISSUE: make x-refs explicit, or just rely on the system being smart enough?

• When you finish writing, Jot stores your note.
• Also, depending on the type of data in your note, Jot will store it in the appropriate calendar/todo manager/contact manager/bookmark manager software
• Jot application lets you tag, sort and filter notes.

Types of completions:

• Basic

  • Times, dates

• Local data

  • Contacts
  • Based on name, phone number, email address, etc

• Remote data

  • Websites
  • Movies
  • Books
  • Music
