Field notes
The page describes a “space” as a small app built from text, with an address supplied for the user's server, a friend's, or a demo on a Mac. It says saved data syncs every 10 seconds while the app is open, and that each space has its own database. A Plants demo is presented as editable: changing a line redraws the phone view live. The homepage also invites visitors to get notified when the product is out.
