Only on the web for now, mobile also coming soon...

TestFlight link is here: testflight.apple.com/join/gmSQv4Gh

Should work in any browser near you. Point your bug reports at the GitHub issues page! github.com/dropanchorap...

Oh I won’t make promises but a basic web client should be in the cards. Also nice for testing

Would you use a PWA client you think? I've been thinking about making the website more than just read only. On a browser with location permissions it should work reasonable well I think.

Awesome! Sometimes the nearby search will error out because Overpass times out sometimes (<- insert gazetteer here!) but the Nominatim search that powers the search field is pretty robust usually if you know the name of your venue already.

Anchor already support this I guess. A checkin is always for a POI/venue. It's just a checkin record for the text and date and then a ref to a location and a ref to geo record for the POI. In The Netherlands and large parts of Europe this works pretty well with OSM as data is good, in US/CA not sure

wait really? I thought you shouldn't mess with the created date... ok maybe I'll have another look at that then. could be cool to import a bunch of foursquare and google local checkins.

If used as a personal logger would you like to have some sort of rating attached? Or just the fact that your logging it is enough info (together with the checkin text and maybe some images of course)

Yeah I'd love to backfill my foursquare export as well but the createdAt date is not something you can set. I guess I could do a checkinDate field and use that in the UI instead but seems a bit dirty.

What you're losing, besides the social aspect, is game mechanics. If you're just doing this for yourself there is no external incentive to keep going, so you need an internal drive to log excursions. Not good for usage numbers likely but since this is open source not a real issue.

..from that. No need for likes, comments. But pictures make sense. Social sharing would still be interesting but incidental; share a specific checkin on Bluesky or elsewhere. Eventually private records might make sense, but we're always storing venues not exact user location, so not a blocker.

gonna be a long wait... 😘 but it's open source so you could always roll your own client?
