Editorial interest 80/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A tool for visitor centers, museums, and trails that converts photographed guest-book pages and QR check-ins into visitor counts and reports.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-26 issue.

For: Trailheads, visitor centers, museums, and public-land managers
Worth noticing: Staff verify each extracted name, hometown, and date against the source page before records count.

Field notes

The workflow keeps the paper page in the loop: staff compare extracted names, hometowns, and dates with the photographed source before publishing. Reports include monthly counts by site and source, hometown maps, and CSV/PDF exports; QR check-ins can also ask optional questions about origin and overnight stays. The homepage reports that a national historic trail added 151 sheets spanning 2024–2026 and checked a batch of 38 the same afternoon.
