Show HN: I built a tool for repeatable checklists

This is amazing! I have tried using checklists and the like in trello and iPhone reminders/notes but like you say it is tedious to repeat.

Growing up my mother was a checklist fanatic. Any time we would go camping or traveling there was the packing checklist. Grocery staples checklist. There was the yearly checkup/vision/dentist checklist for all her kids. Weekly chore checklist. Bills paid checklist. I’d not be surprised if she had a checklist-making checklist.

Her technology skills were limited, she made all of these with some crapware create-a-card software and printed them out on sheets of address label stickers. But I’ll be damned if we ever forgot to pack anything on road trip.

I’ll definitely give this a try.

That's cool! There's one other feature I would love to have that current to-do lists don't capture: follow-ups. Basically, for a task such as "email Mr. and Mrs. XYZ", have the ability to snooze the tasks for a few days, if they haven't responded. There are many tasks that aren't done just because you did your part of it...

I don't mind sharing at all.

The nuts and bolts weren't too different from what it is today: Rails app deployed on Render with simple auth. Most of the work getting it ready for public consumption was generalizing the UX so it wasn't so specific to my way of thinking, polishing the look and feel, speeding it up, improving the auth, and other things you wouldn't really need for a personal app.

This looks fantastic. I've been creating repeatable checklists for all sorts of things and the tools that are out there always fail in this regard.

My other gripe that no one has addressed yet is editing vs execution of a repeatable list.

* When I'm editing a grocery list I want the items in alphabetical order because I'm searching a preexisting list for items to add, but when I'm executing the list I want the items in the order I come upon them in the store.

* When I'm executing a list, usually on my phone, I don't want my fat fingers accidentally reordering/editing/deleting list items. The list should be read-only with the exception of marking items completed.

* Having a list with defaults and a reset option. I often have repeatable lists with optional and required items (e.g. beach vs desert camping, groceries, etc). It would be nice to have a reset option to uncheck/show defaults while keeping all the optional items off a list.

Thanks!
