How-to guides
Keep up with people, places, trips, and festivals
A contact book with playdate rotation and RSVP links, place cards with a weather check, trips with a packing list and journal, and a festival calendar.

Goal: the outside world on the same calendar as the home day. Parents only.
People and playdates#
- Go to Outside › People & playdates.
- Add a contact with a name, relationship, and notes. The chip shows days since last contact; tap Touch after a call or a visit.
- The Rotating scheduler suggests who is next: the family longest without a playdate, never-met first.
- Tap Playdate, choose With, date, time, Where, and tap Invite. An RSVP link is copied; send it by any message app.
- Afterwards tap Mark done and write one line.
The daily reminder "No playdate in 10 days" nudges parents.
Places#
- Go to Outside › Places. The banner shows today's temperature and haze with the outdoor window ("outdoor before 9:30 / after 17:00"), or "indoor movement plan today".
- Tap Place to add one: name, kind, best time, duration limit, what to bring, optional coordinates for the map.
- Tap Visited today after an outing. Places not visited in three months show "rotate in".
Trips#
- Go to Outside › Trips and tap Trip, or Start one of the templates under Roadmap of trips.
- Set the title, dates, and Purpose tags (immersion, grandparents, sea confidence, learning, identity, resilience, nature). Suggested packing appears as you tick.
- On the trip page: Packing (adult) checklist, Her checklist with big picture buttons, Suggested activities, and the Journal.
- During the trip, tap Journal entry with a location and a photo caption. On the last night, tap Last-night review: what we learned, best moment, next time. It creates a portfolio page.
Today shows a trip shortcut while a trip is active.
Festivals#
Outside › Festivals & rhythm lists Islamic, lunar, Malaysian, and Maldivian dates through 2030, lunar dates marked approximate, with project suggestions. Tap Add to plan to make a festival the week's focus and add a block on the day. Tap Festival to add your own.
FAQ
Do guests need an account to RSVP?
No. The RSVP link opens a plain page with Yes and No buttons. It works in any browser without JavaScript.
Why are relatives not suggested for playdates?
A weekly grandparent call is a different rhythm. The rotating scheduler suggests peer families, neighbours, and friends only.
