Include Location in exports #114

Open metafarion opened 7 months ago

metafarion commented 7 months ago

First of all, fantastic work so far. This program is well on its way to being the brain dumping utility I've been looking for.

Can we also include location data in the file exports though? It's an important part of being able to review and make sense of recordings later.

Would you want something like a google maps link attached to each bullet?

metafarion commented 7 months ago

Well what would be most useful to me PERSONALLY, is the location included as a street address, even if it's not completely accurate. I'm pretty sure the Maps API will derive an approximate street address, given specific coordinates. And then that text could be clickable as a maps link to the exact coordinates.

My specific use case here is as a service person going to various locations each day, and recording where I've been and what I did there as I go.

...btw, this may or may not be relevant to what happens next here, but I learned earlier today while investigating another project, that F-Droid will not allow Google Play location services to be a dependency in any software in their repository. If you want to use geolocation in your program it HAS to be some kind of FOSS method for them to accept it. With regards to #45

Sorry, this is a clumsy paraphrasing because I don't fully understand what I'm talking about :stuck_out_tongue:

Here's what the F-Droid maintainer says directly: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/10347#issuecomment-2074593438
