We’re excited to announce that we’ve just released a set of updates that make it even better to record and share your sailing adventures on noforeignland.

Chapters

You can now break your journey into chapters. The default is one chapter per year, but you can organise them however you like.

On our own journey, we’ve used seasons and major crossings — it’s a clear way to show where we were at different times.

You can keep the defaults or add your own. Tap the Settings cog (shown below) to name your chapters and set the dates.

Rich Content

We’ve also updated how stories are shown. Instead of being limited to a single image, you can now add full image galleries, and easily embed YouTube videos, and link to blog articles by pasting links in the editor:

Share with friends and family

Everything works fully in both the app and the website. Sharing is simple: just copy the URL from the browser address bar when viewing your journey on our website, and send it to friends or family. All they need to do is click the link — no app required, no sign-up needed, and it’s completely free.

These updates are live now. Download the latest version of the app to try them on your own journey and see how much more you can share.
