So over the last month, during Iran US-Israel War, I was keen on learning how global supply chains work, where oil originates, how it moves, how different actors are playing their role to get a good picture of geopolitics.

I was keeping notes in different places and I always found myself opening Google Maps, jumping to Obsidian. Going back and forth. I didn't really find an extension that was nice enough to pin markdown notes to locations on the map.

I wanted a map that I could evolve. A map I could add notes to, modify as I want, and colocate my notes and spatial thinking all in one place.

I tried building a plugin for Obsidian. It was scrappy. nothing really integrated with Notion, so I decided to vibe-code an app that helped me do this. An app that could seamlessly export markdown files for later use inside Obsidian vault. Where maps are first class citizen. Different notebooks can be created for different thematic studies.

Exported files can then be directly used with OpenClaw and other AI agents like Claude, Codex, OpenCode, etc.

I thought I might just put it out there in case someone finds it useful to use. I think OSINT researchers, geopolitical analysts, reporters and field researchers who follow economic developments, wars, and global events can find this useful.

Let me know guys how's your experience. Open to feedback 👍
