from the self-post dept.
Fintech consultant here. I migrate legacy systems (COBOL, Delphi, VB6, old Java, etc.) to modern stacks.
Not "paste into Claude and pray" — a repeatable process where AI accelerates analysis and drafts translations, but architecture and business logic validation stay human. I've learned where LLMs hallucinate on legacy (PERFORM THRU, copybooks, JCL dependencies) so your team doesn't have...
I like it. It's simple. Shareable. But it's focused on shopping lists. I would use for shopping but there is some checklists I don't need that. Like my "Surf backpack list" it's just so I can check the items while i put in the backpack.
For now yes. The idea is to have a disposable checklist. Maybe I will add collections or projects with multiple lists.
Got it. But once modified by someone the share link changes.
I'm building something that fits my needs. More energy I give to this project more will be reliable.
No installed app. Must be shareable.
I want to share lists with others.
I use a plain text file locally. But my main need is to share it.
I use both. But I can't share and collaborate on both easily.
I like the QRCode idea. For lalacheck if the list is private I don't share, if the list is to someone I share it. But makes sense the collection of lists or tasks.
I like it. Drag and drop/reordering will be added for sure.
I'm going to avoid adding robust features as much as possible. It's not meant to be a Todoist, Trello or others.
My wife uses Android. It should be web based anyway.
If you send me one that fits my needs, it's easy to use, no deploy neede then I will probably shutdown lalacheck. I don't even have a domain yet.
I like it. But most of these pro features I will add for free.
So every person needs deploy before using it.
Needs login. I don't want that.
- I like the local first approach. I was already thinking in making all changes local, then syncing after.
- I also like the template. I have a checklist that I reuse everyday. Maybe a reset button (to uncheck all items) simply solve this. But the template or gallery is cool.
- Hierarchical items or sections would be nice.
- Share is simple, just give the link to someone. What import or export formats are you thinking?
Good idea. It's simple to track this. What idle duration limit makes sense for deletion?
And how do you share this brand new app with someone free?
I know ˆˆ. Could you send me a simple one that fits my needs?
Me and my wife make some changes together. Add, remove, check, uncheck. Groceries list, etc.
With this approach we should share the new URL again after each change.
I know. The idea is to share and collaborate on the same checklist. No installed apps. I want to give a direct URL for someone not a play store URL.
Yep. It's a share-first app in a sense.
I use vi ~/todo.xit.
xit is this text format:
https://xit.jotaen.net/But this app is for other purposes. Me and my wife add house stuff to a shopping list. We don't want an installed app. Or even login before using a simple list.
