A friend and I used Notion to plan an overseas trip. We had a table of potential places to visit (with cost, how long it might take, etc.). I was disappointed to find out that Notion had no way to render those locations on a map.

I'm also frustrated by the typical notes apps inability to store data in a way that it's convenient to retrieve. One example: I'd like to be able to just tag some string (think a UUID or other opaque thing) as a "blob" and then be able to click the "blob" just once to copy it to the clipboard, to be put into other tools.

Your app looks much more up my alley and I'll be signing up.



Are there _any_ ways to uniformly put a geolocation in a Markdown/note/txt file?

Seems like there should be a general answer for this, as sometimes I'd like to put a geolocation and notes in a file, and some uniform way to parse this later, whatever the tool.


There are two Obsidian plugins for this: Map View[0] and Leaflet[1]. You can store the geocoded locations using YAML frontmatter or Dataview inline fields.
