Overview
extremely simple input / output layer for owning your own data and transferring it to anywhere with lightweight tagging
basically Pocket for any piece of data and you own the data yourself and can specify the schemas. Saves data on the go in a structured format (csv).
A drop that builds into Reservoir. Can be the simplest, stand-alone layer to bring data in regardless of where you’re coming from.
Spec
Explicitly intended for mobile, should be the fastest way to capture structured data on the go. Need to be able to have basic management and exporting of data on web.
- stores data as csv
- what about rich media objects? upload to your storage and add link?
- where is the data stored where it is easily accessible and “owned” by them?
- can you plug in icloud drive, google drive, s3?
- append-only for first iteration?
- view of all the entries added, show recent ones first, easy search and filter
- should be super fast, can upload in background, should work offline
- should use existing storage solutions, nothing fancy, just a layer to save data from
why?
so difficult to capture structured data quickly. All the second brain apps are built on top of unstructured text data, with rough, basic structure on top via linking entities together. What about very simple structured data tracking where you have a simple schema that you want to keep adding to a growing database (i.e. fits-stream or photo-a-day, etc.). How can you store something like this?
