I’m experimenting with the MCP protocol for Jottit and have the basics of it working. I can now publish new pages by prompting Claude on my mobile or ask it to summarise pages, make edits, etc. I’m not sure what to think of it yet, but I’m definitely intrigued… #jottit#indieweb#ai
I redesigned Jottit's URLs. Instead of yourname.jottit.org, pages now live at jottit.org/@username/page-slug. It's a small change but it shifts the whole feel: less "here's a site" and more "here's a person writing something." My own page now lives at https://jottit.org/@sbc#jottit#indieweb

I'm a few days away from launching Jottit.org, a revival of the minimalist wiki tool Aaron Swartz and I built in 2007. If you have a few minutes, I'd love for you to kick the tires. Looking for bug reports and first impressions. Thanks! https://jottit.org #IndieWeb#Jottit
Aaron Swartz and I built Jottit in 2007 as the simplest way to make a web page. I've spent the last year rebuilding it, but it kept drifting, trying to be a wiki, a blog, and a publishing platform all at once. So I made a big decision: I split it in two! jottit.org is the original idea, back from the dead. tinypost.blog is a brand new minimalist blogging tool. Jottit should stay Jottit. https://simonbc.com/why-i-split-jottit-into-two-apps#jottit#indieweb#blogging
Why I split Jottit into two apps
I've been quiet for a bit (moving house, painting walls) but I also made a big decision about Jottit. When Aaron Swartz and I built Jottit in 2007, it was a…
After 4 months of working on Jottit I've decided to start over. I was using it for my own site and kept blogging, but Jottit was built around pages and wiki-style editing. Blogging was an afterthought. And the tech I was most excited about (git-backed, everything as files) was stuff 99% of people would never care about. I was building for myself, not for them. #indieweb#jottit
