# Jotspot - Text Annotation Tool

Jotspot is a simple text annotation tool that allows you to create and manage text annotations with timestamps. Whether you want to jot down quick notes, timestamps for important events, or simply annotate text for future reference, Jotspot has got you covered.

## Features

- **Annotation Creation:** Easily create text annotations along with timestamps.
- **Timestamps:** Annotations include timestamps indicating when they were created.
- **User-Friendly Interface:** An intuitive and user-friendly text-based interface for annotation management.
- **List Annotations:** View and manage your annotations conveniently.
- **Customizable:** Customize your annotation text as you like it.
- **Timestamp Formatting:** Jotspot provides user-friendly timestamp formatting like "X seconds ago," making it easy to understand when an annotation was created.

## Getting Started

### Prerequisites

Before you get started, ensure you have the following installed:

- Rust (if you don't have it, you can [get it here](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install))
