One permission is the whole setup. Turn location on and lo reads the ground you are standing on back to you from six directions at once — the name of it, the time it keeps, the sky above it, what is being written about it, what is on there this fortnight, and the map of it. Mark a spot and it stays.
Nothing here answers a question without a position, so the gate stands in for the whole dashboard rather than sitting inside it. One tap, and every card below the first line is a reading of the same fix.
lo starts from where you are. Turn on location and the time, the weather, what is happening nearby and the map all follow.
A pair of coordinates becomes a name — the ward, the city, the region — with how sure the device is about it. Every card under it is a reading of this one line.
The clock of the place you are in rather than the one your computer is set to, its offset from UTC, and the sunrise and sunset of the day you are standing in.
What is overhead now: the temperature, what it feels like, the humidity and the wind, and the high and low the day is heading for.
Headlines filed under the narrowest name your position has — the ward before the city, the city before the prefecture. Somewhere with no newswire of its own gets what is around it instead.
The public holidays that apply where you are standing rather than the ones the country as a whole keeps, and what is on within the fortnight.
The ground you are on, your fix on it, and every spot you kept. Open it full screen when the rest of the page can wait.
The button does not save the position the page happened to be holding — it asks the device again and saves that answer, then leaves the undo where your thumb already is. A name comes later, from the list, if the spot turns out to want one.
Six services, five of them free of keys and accounts. Answers are cached against a rounded grid — about a kilometre for the place and the sky, about ten for the news — so a phone reporting its position every few seconds asks each question once.
A username is the whole account: no password, no email, nothing to confirm. Your position is sent as a question rather than written down, and the caches are keyed to a rounded grid instead of to you. The one thing lo keeps is a spot you chose to keep.
