24 alternatives to Create notes and maps that live outdoors with web and AR integration
Hey HN, We built Auglinn to make it easy for anyone to leave notes outdoors and create interactive maps, using AR. You can: - Pin notes or questions from your desktop that appear as AR notes outside, or - Leave notes or questions while exploring outside with AR, and view them later on your map via phone or desktop. My favorite feature: creating maps by dragging and dropping photos from your phone. The story? When I was a kid, my father visited Universal Studios and captured it all on video. When I went there in 2019, I found myself wondering if I was standing in the same spots he had. This…

AI Playground▲159Finding notes fast is still hard. You can organize with tags, PARA, or backlinks, but searching always feels slow and frustrating. That’s why I built ConniePad - native app on macOS & iOS. It works offline and lets you capture notes quickly anywhere. It has a comprehensive editor and local speech-to-text on iOS, so you can jot down ideas even without internet. But capturing notes is only half the story. What about finding what you need? ConniePad uses AI search. You can type queries like you would in Google or ChatGPT. It understands similar words, wrong typos, and abbreviations, so you get…
