About


The Places is an open-source personal GIS system designed for structured, long-term management of geographic data.

Unlike typical map-based note apps, it is built around a normalized data model with atomic Points as the foundation for higher-level entities such as Places and Routes.

Core Features & Architecture

  • Atomic Data Model: Points are reusable and referenced across entities, enabling consistent spatial relationships and data integrity.
  • Deterministic sync engine: The system uses a structured batch update model (added/updated/deleted flags) to ensure reliable synchronization between client and backend.
  • Self-hosted, privacy-first: Users retain full control over their geographic data via a standalone backend (PHP+MariaDB/MySQL).

Roadmap

The project is evolving towards PostgreSQL with PostGIS to support advanced spatial queries and scaling.
