## Use-case and Philosophy
30
+
31
+
This is the basic use-case of this app:
32
+
33
+
* Take notes while being outside (maybe even while walking or sitting in a bus)
34
+
35
+
To enable this, the app follows some basic principles:
36
+
37
+
***Simplicity:** Make creating, editing, moving and deleting of notes as fast/easy as possible
38
+
***No upload** of data and no creation of notes on osm.org
39
+
***General purpose:** No restriction in the content of a note
40
+
***Not a note management tool:** No import, no high level management operations
41
+
***Simple and pragmatic UI:** No unnecessary animations, no overloaded UIs
42
+
***Feature toggles:** The possibility to enable/disable features
43
+
44
+
Features that will *not* make it into GeoNotes:
45
+
46
+
* Offline maps: Too much work (where does the data come from? What format? When to update the data? Vector or raster data/tiles? etc.)
47
+
* Creating notes on osm.org
48
+
* Directly editing data
49
+
* All sorts of features that will only be used by ~5% (meaning a very small amount) of the users
50
+
* iOS support
51
+
52
+
Use other apps like [StreetComplete](https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete) if you want to directly edit OSM data or to create notes on osm.org.
