v0.1.0 — Scaffold release

The skeleton is in. Capture, store, and retrieve — everything else builds on this.

Published December 15, 20251 min read
  • •One-tap capture on iOS and Android.
  • •Offline-first storage with end-to-end encrypted sync.
  • •Map view and timeline view of your archive.
  • •Eight languages scaffolded (EN live, others ship as translations land).

v0.1 is the smallest useful version of VisNote. It does three things:

  1. Capture. Photo, location, audio, and a free-text note, all in one tap.
  2. Store. Encrypted on-device; optional sync if you want it on the web.
  3. Retrieve. Map, timeline, and full-text search across everything you’ve kept.

That’s it. We shipped the minimum scaffolding so the rest of the roadmap has something to sit on. Feed, sharing, and the AI-assisted recall views are next. None of them make sense without a solid capture → store → retrieve loop.

Known gaps

  • No import from existing camera rolls yet. We’re deliberately holding this one — it’s a UX problem, not a technical one.
  • No desktop app. The website is read-only for now.
  • Translations are stubbed for 7 locales. English is the authored version.
