How many checklist 'apps' have AI in them? That you couldn't find one without it? Or is it just a marketing thing now to say "no-AI" to bank on the anti-AI movement in tech?

You'd be surprised how many perfectly good companies are diluting their products with irrelevant AI features.

When you're in an empty block in Notion the prompt puts "press space for AI" *before* "/ for commands". Totally blatant disregard for the actual useful features of the app in favor of hyping up their AI stuff.

You can email support to get this disabled. Apparently only the business version has a toggle to do it yourself. Regardless I'm much happier having disabled it now

The programmers that has been around for a while sooner or later starts to notice a pattern.

I remember some salesperson asking if we shouldn't start using XML (or some other thing he had heard, think it was XML). Not sure where he heard it but it made absolutely no sence whatsoever. We were already using XML in the backend talking to others backend services but I was trying my best to get away from it... But there was no reason he would even know what XML is. He hardly knew how to use a computer to browse the web at the time.

Whatever is popular at the moment has to be used or you aren't hip and not following the times.

I searched 'checklist app github' and found several free no-ai and no-login options on the top of google results.

So every person needs deploy before using it.

The 3 I tried had online demos, I didn't need to deploy anything.

But deploying it yourself is how you ensure your compliance with Butlearian Jihad ideals.

How does a post like this gather so many upvotes? There are a bajillion "check list" apps on github
millhouse1112 · a year ago
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.
spiderice · a year ago
You're posting it here, presumably so people can use it.. yet already advertising that you'll shut it down as soon as something else that fits your needs comes along? What is the point of this if it can't even be relied upon?
joenot443 · a year ago
You ignored my original suggestion, so now I'm sensing this is all some sort of strange bad-faith promo game.

What is https://list2go.io/en/ missing? I don't see any AI features, if that's your concern.

I just make a checklist in a note on my phone. It’s accessible even when I have no network access and I can share it with people.
millhouse1112 · a year ago
What app?
aardvark179 · a year ago
Just the normal iOS notes app.

Tasks or Markor are what I use and both are great, and you can syn both pretty easily on different platforms.

You may want to consider a keep-alive strategy based on usage and not an arbitrary static timeout. What if I need my checklist for 7.5 days? A corollary is that this may reduce your overall data usage as a lot of people may create a list and immediately abandon it. If you can expire those in less than 7 days, you're saving.
millhouse1112 · a year ago
Good idea. It's simple to track this. What idle duration limit makes sense for deletion?
nbk_2000 · a year ago
90 days since last view, or 1 year if you can afford to be generous. For "slow burn" projects with other people checklists easily go longer than a week without being looked at.
edfletcher_t137 · a year ago
That's a great question! And fortunately, one where you can use human behavior as a guide: if someone is actively using a checklist it seems reasonable to presume they're at least accessing it once a day. So as a quick first-pass, double that time period to two days. Also start collecting usage metrics and mine those in the future to further refine this number.

User initiated; maybe some arbitrarily long duration measured in years.
ned99 · a year ago
there's literally thousands of checklist apps
millhouse1112 · a year ago
I know ˆˆ. Could you send me a simple one that fits my needs?

My wife and I are using https://shared-lists.com mainly for shopping. Free, no-login, no-AI checklist app.
millhouse1112 · a year ago
I like it. But most of these pro features I will add for free.
