The first note was created on July 20th, 2013 at this location.

...was created with the original plnkx app.

PostEnotes originally came into being by way of a mobile-app called plnkx. Plnkx is a portmanteau of internet place link, and may one day grow up to be the commercial version of PostEnotes (plnkx.com).

Because of performance problems with the app, as well as other demands that take time away from 'side projects', the application languished and was only recently moved (2023) to this web-based version.

The location of this note is significant because it's where I worked at the time. I used to work for a large airplane manufacturer in Seattle and I would test the app on my way into work.

When I pulled into my usual parking spot, the app would notify me. Then after getting out and walking towards the corner of the building, I'd get another notification.

As I rounded the corner and headed towards the main doors to the building, the Divine Comedy note would pop up and remind me to "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here."

That's how I tested the app. It was configured to alert when in close proximity to a posted note.

The idea of abandoning all hope before entering work put a smile on my face every morning.
