The all in one Email/note scribing desktop app powered by Claude Sonnet. Coded using Claude in Python and edited using Python IDLE. It aims to be a clean, simple and useful tool for scribing and editing text forms.
| Version | Feature | Notes | Added? | Improvements | Improved? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8.1/8.2/8.3 | Copied to clipboard button | Should be one click and copied everything in text box to the clipboard ready to paste wherever. | Y | Button could be smaller and not take up whole width of page, also once pressed, text response could not be permanent | Y |
| - | Improved formatting buttons (bold, italic, capitalisation) | Should make more sense to press and have correct feedback when pressed. | Y | Capitalisation button needs to be able to turn upper to lower case. Bold/italic button functionality needs to be present when button is highlighted | Y |
| - | Close and minimise buttons | Similar to the one already present, cross should close the mini app completely and minimise should hide it | Y | Close button needs to close the entire application and have them closer together | Y |
| 8.4/8.5 | Window scale button | Adjustable by a drag, have visual feedback when used | Y | Appearance could be better, it looks too faint and id rather it was on the bottom left curve of the text box | Yes, but could be better appearance wise |
| - | Window shutdown on button press bug | Should stop the application from closing when the window is pressed (BUG) | Y | Works as expected! | No need |
| 8.6 | Italic button appearance | Icon should actually be italic | Y | Looks perfect! | No need |
| - | Dark mode | White and black colours should turn to opposites | Y | AI buttons could follow the theme and the sun/moon icon should be black and white | Y |
| 8.7/8.8 | Copy message text change when text message blank | Should say “Jot something first…” instead of “Nothing to copy.” | Y | All good! | No need |
| - | Window corners appearance | Corners of the window on the left should be curved to fit Win11 aesthetic | Y | The curve is good, but the appearance of the border needs the white line to go around the corner | Y |
| - | Drag feature window shake | When the window is resized the window shakes at the right side away from the edge of the screen, this should not happen and the window should be static on that side. | Y | This is a tricky issue to fix from an application standpoint as it is more to do with hardware and device settings. Will do more research… | Not possible |
| 8.9/8.10 | Press window to stop text box being active | When the window is pressed on anywhere that isn’t the text box or a button, if the text box is active it should become inactive | Y | Works of expected! | No need |
| - | Minimise function also causes text box to become inactive | When ALT+N is pressed the text box should become inactive | Y | All good! | No need |
| - | Jot. logo hover turns to Jots. | When the cursor is hovering over the Jot. logo the logo should turn to jots and have a subtle grey background with curved corners | Y | Still needs a background and interaction feedback | Y |
| 8.11 | Save Jots. | Allows the user to save a Jot via a popup window and can open a menu to view saved Jots | Y | This works as expected, I want the Jot text to be Jot. And I want it to either save as or save if jot already has been saved. If save as pressed then ask for a new name. If name is already been saved then ask to overwrite it. | Y |
| - | Clear button location | Should be under the bottom right of the text box instead of with the AI buttons | Y | Could be formatted a little better since the size is different to the other buttons on its row | Y |
| - | Window resize button is protruding from the text box | Should not be and should be aligned with the text box border and not present on the saved jots window | Y | Overlaps with the ai buttons so needs to be changed | Y |
| - | Jot. logo to Jots. and back | When viewing saved jots the logo should be “Jots.” and when hovered over should go back to Jot. Essentially the opposite of the main editor | Y | Works as expected! | No need |
| - | Light mode/Dark mode should be saved when app is reopened | When app is closed the mode the app was left at should be the one present when the app is reopened | Y | Works but need the light appearance to be better for the jots window | Y |
| - | Resize button location on view jots window | View jots. window should have window resize button at the bottom left of the window | Y | Could look a bit cleaner but good for the most part | Y |
| - | Save condition for edited jot | When jot is loaded then edited the save button should be active and when pressed should save the changes to the same jot and not create a new one, only when save as is used should a new jot be created | Y | Works as expected! | No need |
| - | “AI” text change | Instead of “AI” the text should be the current AI model the app is using so it would be “Claude Sonnet” | Y | All good | No need |
| - | Button font change` | Button fonts should change to Georgia instead of the default font | Y | I don’t like the font change needs something more modern and clean | Y |
| - | Fullscreen button alongside minimise and close | Fullscreen button should bring the entire window Fullscreen and be formatted in a way similar to minimise and exit. Also | Y | Works as expected! | No need |
| - | AI buttons light/dark mode | AI buttons need to follow light/dark mode theme | Y | All good! | No need |
| 8.12 | Window position control | Window should be draggable up and down but not left/right | Y | All good! | No need |
| - | Name of jot change functionality | On the view jots window there should be an option to edit and change the name of a jot | Y | All good! | No need |
| - | Delete jot check prompt | When deleting a jot a popup window should ask if sure to delete | Y | Good but potentially could just say “Permanently delete jot?” | Y |
| - | Background around jots appearance change | The background when jot or jots button is highlighted should be a little narrower on the left and right of the text | Y | Slightly less wide but ok for now | No need |
| - | Prompt bar for AI integration | Make all the AI buttons on one row and then include a prompt text bar just below to enter ideas | Y | Looks good but needs background integration | Y |
| - | Resize button appearance clean-up | Make the resize button cleaner but in the same position | Y | I like this less than the previous design | Y |
| - | Loaded Text is not needed | The text that pops up on the window beneath text box saying “loaded: jot_name” isn’t needed | Y | All good! | No need |
| - | Line dividing editor and AI | Like the line dividing the header with the editor section there should be one dividing the editor with the AI section | Y | Looks good | No need |
| - | Tabs bar instead of loaded and editing messages | Above the text box and also connected to it there should be a tabs bar like a browser to navigate to other loaded jots and each tab should have an option to unload the tab and when pressed if not saved then ask to save. | Y | Could look a bit cleaner and functionality needs some work. | Y |
| - | Add attachment functionality | Should be able to add a file as an attachment or an image in the same text box, might require a different type of text box, buttons for these features should be included in the top row of editor section | Y | Cant copy both text and attachments to clipboard | Y |
| - | Light/Dark mode button placement | Should be located next to the full screen button on the header | Y | Needs to be left of the full screen button | Y |
| - | Clear button shouldn’t remove tab | Make it so when clear is pressed on a loaded jot it doesn’t remove the tab | Y | All good | No need |
| - | Light mode appearance | Make the light mode overall a little bit darker and the light mode header area is still dark mode | Y | Still needs to be a little darker | No need |
| - | New jot feature | View jots menu should have button to create new jot which should give option to name and then allow that new jot to be edited in the editor | Y | All good | No need |
| 8.13 | Loaded: jot text | Remove this text from appearing when a new jot is loaded from view jots | Y | All good | No need |
| - | AI buttons style | The background of the AI buttons to be a silverly material background | Y | Style could be better but ok for now | Y |
| - | Website link | Include a button next to the jot logo to link THIS website | Y | Needs to not move when jot logo is hovered over and could be more aligned with the header | Y |
| - | API integration | The AI buttons should capable of altering text in the editor | Y | WOOO!!! Works well | No need |
| - | Save on exit | When the application is exited should ask to save jot | Y | All good | No need |
| - | AI features work with no text | When no text is in editor text box the AI features should still be able to output | Y | All good | No need |
| - | API key outdated message | If the API key is finished or outdated it should appear as a little message on the window | Y | All good | No need |
| - | Select Claude Model | Allows user to select between the different Claude models available | Y | Button could look a little better but works for the most part | N |
| 9.0 | Rebrand Jot. to be Jot_ | Change all instances of Jot. to Jot_ | Y | Mini app icon needs to be J_ | N |
| - | Underscore styling | Underscore in logo and text box should be a bit thicker for both logo and text box and a bit shorter in the logo | Y | Made thicker but not well positioned for the logo but good on the text box | N |
| - | Window size compression | When the window is made thin enough the buttons should not be cropped out and should just appear as … if there are more buttons on the row, this is mainly for AI buttons | N | - | - |
| - | AI model drop down window format | This button should be less wide on the right side as there is some empty space on the button | Y | All good | No need |
| - | Exit button position | I noticed that the position of the exit button is ever so slightly below the position of the minimise button, this should be aligned completely | Y | All good | No need |
| - | Light/dark mode button redesign | Integrate new animation/design to light/dark mode button | Y | Animation is fine but the design of the sun icon is not great | N |
