Field Notes: an offline-first notebook for researchers working far from a signal
Sync that survives weeks without a connection, built with a small team at a university field lab.

Field Notes started as a favor. A friend running a soil-sampling project at a university field station was losing data every season.
The station had no reliable connection, and most note apps assumed you would sync every few minutes.
A small notebook app that treats offline as the normal case, using the approach described in this primer on CRDTs.
The hardest part was earning back trust from people who had already lost work to software.
