Hey you are right there is a step you can not get over without location services enabled. this is not intentionally though. I will fix this in the next version.

If you are willing to give me your email-address I can add you to the beta testers, which will give you earlier access to the bugfix. Hit me up at [email protected] if interested.

Cheers

Are you on the iOS or Android Version? And could you give me some more information e.g. device / modell / ios / android version. I will look into this.
Re:Show HN: Chaoslist – A self-prioritizing todo-list on Monday January 28, 2019 @03:06AM (#19015908)
I uploaded a new version some hours ago, which should fix your problem. Thanks for reporting it and the additional details.

Well you are a master of your own mind and life. Feel free to just ignore chaoslist notifications when they inevitably lead humanity into certain doom.

Jeez thanks for telling me now, I could have saved a year development with your method ;)
Re:Show HN: Chaoslist – A self-prioritizing todo-list on Sunday January 27, 2019 @06:12PM (#19014357)
I think I should have been able to figure that one out :facepalm: :D

TIL, thanks

Re:Show HN: Chaoslist – A self-prioritizing todo-list on Sunday January 27, 2019 @06:03PM (#19014302)
that is fine. If you happen to be on iOS there is an abonement already available which basically is the "I like what you are doing and would love to support more"-option for now. If you are more interested in a one-time payment, there is no option for that yet, but I would like to have one in the near(er) future.

Cheers

Re:Show HN: Chaoslist – A self-prioritizing todo-list on Sunday January 27, 2019 @05:35PM (#19014182)
would you mind giving me the android version you are running on? I will look into this.
Re:Show HN: Chaoslist – A self-prioritizing todo-list on Sunday January 27, 2019 @05:34PM (#19014168)
ping me when you do. Sounds really cool :)
Re:Show HN: Chaoslist – A self-prioritizing todo-list on Sunday January 27, 2019 @05:08PM (#19014054)
There are a lot of ppl for basically anything.

There are also a lot of ppl not using my todo-list yet, so I am focusing on that part a tad more :)

Re:Show HN: Chaoslist – A self-prioritizing todo-list on Sunday January 27, 2019 @04:26PM (#19013886)
1. I am using datetime (enddate or "how long in your list"), vicinity, opening times, shared users and parent to childtask hierarchy at the moment.

And yes you are absolutely right, that there are several factors which determine importancy. So as I am not yet able to reading my users' minds (Im working on it, believe me :)) the result will never be 100% accurate. But I think it is already good enough to be of valuable help and it will only get better from here.

2. There are frameworks out there which you can use, but as the sync is mission critical to my app I do not like to be dependent on any framework. So I rolled my own sync solution, based on Nodejs with a postgresdb in the back :)

Re:Show HN: Chaoslist – A self-prioritizing todo-list on Sunday January 27, 2019 @04:20PM (#19013853)
both apps are completely native yes. As I use a lot of low level functionality tuned to its fullest capabilities, I chose to go native directly to not end up being blocked by any framework.

Voice input is on the road map, but there is no timeline for it yet. But you know how it works... the more I hear it, the more likely it will get prioritized higher :)
Re:Show HN: Chaoslist – A self-prioritizing todo-list on Sunday January 27, 2019 @04:17PM (#19013839)
You are correct, that is basically what it boils down to. :)
Re:Show HN: Chaoslist – A self-prioritizing todo-list on Sunday January 27, 2019 @03:30PM (#19013606)
he and yeah cant hide the potato english. Thanks for enduring, I guess :)
Re:Show HN: Chaoslist – A self-prioritizing todo-list on Sunday January 27, 2019 @03:27PM (#19013595)
You should be able to run the app without location services. Of course everything related to that will not be included when prioritising your tasks. Are you running the iOS or Android version?
Re:Show HN: Chaoslist – A self-prioritizing todo-list on Sunday January 27, 2019 @03:22PM (#19013568)
Hmmm you might be right. I tought free would attract more people then laying out the option, but being completely transparent might evaluate to more here. I have to think about that. Thanks for the input :)
Re:Show HN: Chaoslist – A self-prioritizing todo-list on Sunday January 27, 2019 @03:19PM (#19013555)
Thanks a lot :)

I like your idea, notify me when you hit the market with that :)

Maybe a small explanation to the chaos in the name.

So over the last couple years all the buzz seems to be about zen, zen here, zen there. But what all (that i know of) these zen products have in common is that the just force all the zen out of their users, by forcing them to put exactly the data in they need and be careful when you did not dot your i's and cross your t's.

But, at least in my experience, life can get messy and chaotic. So I would like a new software generation, which just deals with that instead of forcing that work onto me. I named it the chaos generation and with all the ai advancements we might be on a good track to make that happen eventually :)

Also my family group on Whatsapp is named Chaosclan, so I got that in there :)

Cheers

I had to google that and I am still not sure I found the right thing :)

So let me maybe clarify the algorithm running a bit. Im trying to pull in as much information for a task as I can reasonably get. One important information source is the things you as user give me voluntarily, e.g. and end date, a location, shared users, ... Then there is information a user gives me kind of by accident as in "how long has this task been unfulfilled in your list?" A third information source is correlated data from the internet, like the distance to a location and the opening times of said location if applicable.

I use all this information (if you give me access to) correlate them with the same information of your other tasks and some common sense, put in a tablespoon of salt and pepper and stir for about 2 and a half minutes. Out of that falls a priority sorted list ==> chaoslist

Re:Show HN: Chaoslist – A self-prioritizing todo-list on Sunday January 27, 2019 @02:32PM (#19013340)
I would love to be able to. I also have some deeper plans even I would like to take the product.

But at the moment I am doing this on my own, ios, android version and the server, while doing a normal 40-hour job at SAP.

So while it is on my roadmap, don't hold your breath just yet :)

Re:Show HN: Chaoslist – A self-prioritizing todo-list on Sunday January 27, 2019 @02:30PM (#19013330)
Feel free to try :)
Re:Show HN: Chaoslist – A self-prioritizing todo-list on Sunday January 27, 2019 @01:57PM (#19013147)
Uha Im intrigued now it is suitable enough to share the details? :D
Re:Show HN: Chaoslist – A self-prioritizing todo-list on Sunday January 27, 2019 @01:53PM (#19013121)
fixed thanks again
Re:Show HN: Chaoslist – A self-prioritizing todo-list on Sunday January 27, 2019 @01:52PM (#19013116)
I have to redo all the videos as soon as the new design is completely done and implemented. I will keep this in mind than. Thanks a lot :)
Re:Show HN: Chaoslist – A self-prioritizing todo-list on Sunday January 27, 2019 @01:42PM (#19013071)
Thanks - I have not looked too deep into that yet, basically just scratching the surface and back to coding, but I have it on MY chaoslist :)
Re:Show HN: Chaoslist – A self-prioritizing todo-list on Sunday January 27, 2019 @01:40PM (#19013057)
Hello there,

so when you start at first you do not even need to register for anything. I want people to be able to jump in with minimal effort. After 3 days (or earlier of your own choosing) you will be asked to register an account.

The app will be free forever if you have less than 6 active tasks at all time. If you get over that threshold you have the option to enable advertisments (one banner at the bottom) for unlimited access or stay for free and live with the 6 task limit.

I am planning to give users the option to just buy the product for some euros instead of using advertisements. But that will come at a later point when I get around to it.

So basically at the moment, it is my own implementation of the fremium model prevailent in many mobile apps :)

Re:Show HN: Chaoslist – A self-prioritizing todo-list on Sunday January 27, 2019 @01:40PM (#19013056)
Uh thanks a lot, every bit helps :)

A bit of background story...

I pretty much hated Todo-Lists all my life. Instead of doing what you are supposed to do, you get the additional overhead of putting it also into a list? F* that! Instead of remembering the things I gotta do, I now have to remember looking at my Todo-list. So at some point I was thinking... we are close to self-driving cars... we are dreaming of setteling down on f*ing Mars. Why is there no Todo-list which can just tell me when and where a task is important.

So you still have the overhead of putting the task in, but now the tradeoff will be you being able to actually throw the task out of your head and focus on the things which are important right here, right now.

I am in the process of finalizing the design for a first marketing offensive and am looking here for more feedback to make it the best possible product it can be. Mind helping me out? :)

Cheers
