Show HN: Wiederhol – GitHub for Checklists(wiederhol.com)

Greetings!

My wife and I built a collaborative platform for reusable checklists.

Users can share templates of checklists with few select users or everyone, copy templates of other users (like forking a repository on github), submit suggestions for checklists (like opening a PR on github).

I've got the idea after reading Atul Gawande's 'Checklist Manifesto' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Checklist_Manifesto). Plus I kept forgetting things when going to the office, gym or traveling.

We've tried a few other checklist apps, like Microsoft To Do. But they all seem more geared towards one-off lists or lists that repeat on schedule. Plus web versions and collaborative features always felt like an afterthought.

Wiederhol is free for private use.

iOS users can install our app via https://apps.apple.com/de/app/wiederhol/id6739186169. Android users can install https://wiederhol.com/ as a PWA (Progressive Web Application).

Tech stack: Ruby on Rails, React, PostgreSQL, https://dokku.com/ for hosting on Hetzner, https://pwabuilder.com for the iOS app.

PS: Wiederhol means 'repeat' (imperative verb form) in German.

Interesting idea!

I think this could really benefit from lazy signup, a demo directly on the landing page, or at least way more screenshots.

Given that making a checklist in my notebook or established organization-app of choice is almost 0 friction, signing up or downloading an app feels like asking a lot without seeing the clear benefit 100%.

Good luck with this :)

Hey, thanks for the reply!

We already have lazy sign up, but I'll definitely consider adding a demo and/or more screenshots.
