Description

The main functionality for this #1 as per the [Figma designs](https://www.figma.com/file/WrpkKGJNYZbeCzMRDVtvQLbC/dwyl-app?type=design&node-id=2204-279&mode=design) is looking great.
(I know we are, at the time of writing, missing the screens that allow for the conversations to be reviewed/searched, but so far the initial UX flow of finding an object, taking a photo and replying looks good).

It's simple and usable.

I see the utility of an open comment as the reply to where something goes:

I was wondering if for the MVP, we'd like to be a little more prescriptive in the _format_ of the reply so that we can store ***locations*** separately:

Reasons we might want to store locations separately:
+ Having a list of locations is the foundation of an organisational system
+ Next feature: grabbing a list of everything that needs to be put away in one specific location (yes, I realise we'll end up with duplicates with slightly different descriptions or spellings at this stage but it's not an MVP problem)
+ Auto-fill later on
+ Interesting data to hold with multiple future applications!

I know that in future we can just pull this information out of comment text, my question is whether for the MVP it may be useful to already classify data as 'location' (and hence this suggestion).

Couldn't find a `discuss` label so went with `question`.
