I've built several checklists that I come back to. I have one for weekend plane trips, one for short hikes, one for camping, one for road trips. It's always nice to be able to go back to a checklist and not have to remember all the stuff that needs to be packed. It's also good to be able to update the checklist mid-trip with a "man, I wish I had a..." For repeatable tasks I have a habit tracker on my phone, it's free…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It takes some doing, but you can build a pretty competent trip planning/packing app all within something like Airtable or Notion. This is what I use, I have a db called “trips”, when a new page is added it pre-fills with a generic trip packing checklist that I can customize.

Does this cater for the same item, a toothbrush for example, being in multiple pack lists?

Yeah it works fine, when you click the “new page” button the template just gets duplicated from the base. So toothbrush will be duplicated for each new trip, checking one off won’t affect the others.

To be clear: it’s not a table of items to check off, it’s a table of packing list pages, within each page is a simple checklist.

When someone signs up you automatically make it public they are using it? And what they are doing?? Like, does this person: https://steplist.app/users/253 know you've made it public? On the surface this is awful. What about respect for people's privacy? Please tell me I'm missing something.

Thanks for the feedback. Most access was limited on day one, including:

- Can't view profiles unless you're signed in

- Can't see what lists people are performing unless they're performing your list or a public list

- Can't see privately published lists written by a user (unless you are them)

But yes, I think we can take this a bit further. I've pushed the following updates:

- Can't view a user's draft lists (this was an error, now fixed)

- Can't view a user's activity unless they're working on a list you invited them to perform.

The latter issue was a leftover from a "teams" feature usecase that's been pushed back. But it's more sane now.

I don't think the GitHub integration had the right permissions. When I try it I see: Repositories Public repositories This application will be able to read and write all public repository data. This includes the following: Code Issues Pull requests Wikis Settings Webhooks and services Deploy keys

Thanks. Will take a look at that today.

Fixed. Thanks again.
