 - **Smart Linking:** The `showPlaces` action intercepts search results and automatically resolves them to existing **Bookmarks** if a match is found (via `storage.findPlaceById`). This ensures the app navigates to the persistent Bookmark URL (ULID) and correctly reflects the "Saved" status in the UI instead of treating it as a new generic OSM place.
 - **Data Normalization:** Refactored `OsmService` to return normalized objects (`osmTags`, `osmType`) for all queries. This ensures consistent data structures between fresh Overpass results and saved bookmarks throughout the app.
 
+### 5. Creation & Editing Workflow
+
+- **Create Place:**
+  - Implemented `/place/new` route for creating new private places.
+  - **UX:** Map displays a central crosshair for precise location selection.
+  - **Mobile Optimization:**
+    - Disabled map inertia (`kinetic: false`) to ensure the map stops exactly where the finger releases.
+    - `PlaceEditForm` conditionally disables autofocus on mobile screens (`<= 768px`) to prevent the onscreen keyboard from obscuring the map view immediately.
+    - Responsive crosshair sizing (48px desktop / 24px mobile).
+  - **Persistence:** Form data (Title, Description) and Map coordinates are securely saved to RemoteStorage via `storage.storePlace`.
+
 ## Current State
 
 - **Repo:** The app runs via `pnpm start`.
