Where it happened
Your memories on a map, and the places you keep going back to.
Ham Orchards
One kept day with a place on it. The map is built out of these, and nothing else.
How it works
Where is the map of your own mantel. Every memory with a location sits on it, and opening one opens the day.
A memory only has a place because a photo carried one or because somebody typed it. Ember never reads your location, and there is nothing to check into.
Naming a place on one day
A place can carry a label: your name for it, rather than the one on the map. The bench, the good taco truck, the house with the dog. It sits on that memory and reads back the way you would say it.
Labelling and saving are separate. A label stays on the one day unless you also tick save, which is what puts it in Your places for next time.
A day that moved around can hold more than one place, with one of them marked primary. The primary is the one the card and the map use.
Your places
Name a place once and it is kept for next time, so the coffee place you go to every Sunday is one tap rather than a search.
Every memory also keeps its own copy of where it happened. Rename a saved place, or delete it entirely, and the days that already happened there still say where you actually were.
What it doesn't do
Ember doesn't track your location. A memory knows a place because a photo carried one, or because you typed it.
There's no check-in, and nothing leaves your mantel.
