Historical conversation: Field Notes Companion

# Conversation: Field Notes Companion

User: When I walk a property or a job site I need a tablet app for observations, photos later, and follow-up tasks. Not a research library.

Assistant: Distinct capability. Inputs: location note, weather, people present, issues, measurements. Outputs: visit report, task list, optional sketch.

User: Decided: offline-first. Integrate later with whatever Sovi maps/service exists. Do not fake GPS tracks if the device doesn't provide them — allow manual pin.

Assistant: Form: Application. Keep it simple. SOP for closing a visit. Export Markdown report.

Unresolved: photo storage budget on a self-hosted VPS.

This is RELATED BUT DISTINCT from the research librarian.
