Oh, is it? I did brief tests on my iPad and didn't find any glaring issues.
Could you help me with what device and screen size you find it cluttered? Which of these do you find cluttered on your tablet? - Landing page: https://jottings.me - Dashboard: https://dashboard.jottings.me - A Jottings Site: Example: https://jottingsjottings.me

Currently, only the perma-part of permalink is possible per post (or jot).
Something like this: https://jottings.vishalvshekkar.com/jots/19620509 always links to that specific jot.
Where `19620509` is the permanently assigned ID to that specific jot.
It is not human-readable and not extracted from the post (jot) itself because the post may be edited and over time, may go out of sync.
But, I am open to allowing this setting to be adjusted per site, where the site owner may choose to go with a human-readable ID that is extracted from the jot content.
Is your need more the stable permanent link to a jot, or a human readable permanent one, @gradientsrneat?

Thank you very much!
Yeah, I agree. In fact, even Jottings started as something I built for my own use as a stand-alone site that I used to host. Made it into a production for others to use only after someone of my friends asked me for a similar site. I used to feed my post (or Jots) data to my build system through a json file that I updated to add new jots.
I hope that the appeal is real for a good bunch of folks.
Haha! You gave me a chuckle! And a totally fair yell! :) Valid CS philosophical musings aside, may be I should be a bit more specific to something like "personalized feed ranking".

Ha! Very cool! I did not know about the community/idea of Digital Gardens! From my quick glance, it seems close to a lot of my thoughts.
I like what you have done with Launchbowl! The part about linking multiple posts together is something I swear by for personal writing & note-taking on Anytype. Graph is a very efficient way to process a lot of connected information!
Thank you! Yes, Jottings was built for anyone, even with no tech experience, to set up and have a site where they may post their thoughts to the world.

Thank you!
I hear you, and I share a big part of that opinion on AI writing. From the feedback I got from some folks before, it seemed to be something many were interested in, which is why I designed it to be very aid-like, and less to generate content fully from scratch and post automatically: essentially spamming.
I am not very sold on the AI tool and am very open to removing it with more such opinions!

I hear you. I actually am quite open to making Jottings self-host-able. I might want to slice the multi-tenant layer out before I do that, only because that is complicated and not needed for someone to host and manage multiple sites, and is the part that primarily makes this a product. I'll give it a think.
I also hear you about the making money part, and I largely agree.

Not possible today—Google form and Typeform don’t allow custom code to run on their form pages. But, if you have a form on your own site, which you control, or another forms product that allows custom JS, Akuri will work well on those forms.
Akuri is primarily built for products/platforms that want to add content-generation AI to a text field within their workflow. Example: e-commerce product adds Akuri to allow sellers to write better & faster product descriptions right on the platform.
