01WHY IT EXISTS
Why does
Fieldnotes API exist?
Research should not be trapped in a single interface. Fieldnotes API explores a durable, simple event model for product evidence that a community can understand and move elsewhere.
02 / PRODUCT SHAPE
The product shape we know so far
The direction can move, but these capabilities and principles have passed a first round of evidence.
Local development environment
Full-text and semantic search APIs
Pluggable storage
GUIDING PRINCIPLESOpen coreAPI firstPortableStable versions
03 / BUILD PATH
Not a countdown. A chain of evidence.
Every step should inform the next. When evidence is missing, pausing is a legitimate form of progress.
