Simple web apps in MODx

I’m loving MODx for its easiness. I think i’ll be going to switch all of my web projects to Revo.

Anyway, I have a question about "web apps".
Most of PHP programmers know about REST, CRUD, frameworks, scaffolding etc...
Many use CakePHP, Symfony or other frameworks to create their web apps in PHP.

What I need is a simple way, for the visitors of my MODx site, to create/read/update/delete data, using a form.
For example, a website for "ToDo lists". An user logs in with his password, can write his ToDo list, view existing lists, update them, etc.

Is anything like this possible/simplified by using MODx?

Thank you

In Evo, I would use Jot for this (or more likely my extension of Jot, Notes). It has everything needed; user access control, form for new, buttons for editing/deleting existing. I’ve successfully added some jQuery to the mix to allow drag-and-drop ordering of the items, which would be a useful addition to a To-Do list.

On the official page I read: "Jot is a snippet for MODx and gives your site users the opportunity to enter feedback on your articles."

Thank you sottwell, but I don’t think it’s what I need!

You can use it to whatever suit your needs.
Jot is flexible enough to handle many case other than just commenting.

Indeed. I’ve worked with it for restaurant menus, our employee lists, FAQ question/answer lists; in short anything that needs a customizable form for input, user management to say who can see the form and otherwise manage the items, and a mini-template for output. In many respects it behaves like a "branch" of resources and Ditto, but without all the overhead of using resources and Ditto for such a simple list of things. One big advantage is the ability to define custom fields in a custom table and populate it all from the same custom form; no need for separate TVs.
