For readers and travel companions

Has someone shared a travel journal with you?

If you are a reader, or you were on the trip yourself, sign in with your email address. You will find everything shared with you in one place — no link needed.

Your own travel journal

A travel journal you can write yourself — or hand to an agent.

Your journal is JSON documents and photographs in a folder you own. Write a day yourself in the studio, or hand it to an agent instead — this instance's or your own.

Hand this to your agent

Copy this and paste it into an agent of your own to get started.

Guide me through creating my own travel journal, following the overview at https://dev.fernscout.ch/documentation.txt and the day-writing guide at https://dev.fernscout.ch/skill/add-a-day.md. You will need an email address I control.

Give your agent the link
It reads the guide there — every call, with examples.
Give it an email address you control
The one that owns the journal. No other address can write.
Pass back the code that arrives
It can then write for seven days. Everything it writes waits as a draft.

There's still no CMS — the folder is yours. You can write a day yourself in the studio; bringing in photographs, a bank statement or contacts still needs an agent.
