I’ve been doing that with Day One. Leaving notes in a journal for location related notes. Nice to see a project that focus only on that.

A deeper explanation on-site might not go amiss.

You can now! Just added-- this is a very rough first cut :)

Thank you taking a look and for dropping feedback!

Excellent, thanks.

I don't quite know what this is - it's a new concept, to me, at least - but it's pressing some good buttons in my head.

I just realised, after testing that I'd inadvertently gine a bit too close to home, literally, when adding a note :)

Bookmarked, keeping an eye on you develop this! x

Appreciate it :)

At its heart, this was borne out of a desire to fashion technology to help integrate us, enabling a tiny bit more proximity and place amongst our fellows, rather than "uproot" it (as we can all too easily disintegrate, and treat ourselves as purely online beings in incorporeal cyberspace).

Think "Small Is Beautiful" (or really anything by Wendell Berry).

Apologies for the confusion-- just added a short "about" section: https://fieldnote.ink/about.

I appreciate you taking a look and for your feedback!
