Releases notes

0.2.2

Released on March 28, 2025.
This new version displays the locations in photographs. Tags representing locations have been geocoded so that they can be displayed on a map.

Map of Japan with locations grouped by proximity
Each location has a detailed page where you can see all the photos taken there (this can be a specific place such as a temple, or a town or even a region).
The list of places linked to a photograph is also displayed under its tag list.
