Lightweight checklist desktop app.

Checklite - The lightweight checklist app.

Download the MacOS app here.

Built with ❤️ using Electron, Electron Packager, and Electron Builder for releases.

Getting Started

The first thing to do is install Node.js, if you haven't already. The easiest way to do that is by visiting nodejs.org and downloading the installer, which will set up node and npm for you.

Once you've got that out of the way, clone the repository. If you're new to git, check out the guide to cloning a repository.

git clone https://github.com/kim-nguyenkhn/checklite.git
cd checklite
yarn install
yarn start

Recommended GitHub Releases Workflow

1. Bump the "Tag version" to the value of version in your application package.json, and prefix it with v. "Release title" can be anything you want.

For example, if your application package.json version is 1.0, your draft's "Tag version" would be v1.0.

2. Draft a new release with yarn run make.

3. Push some commits. Every CI build will update the artifacts attached to this draft.

4. Once you are done, publish the release. GitHub will tag the latest commit for you.

The benefit of this workflow is that it allows you to always have the latest artifacts, and the release can be published once it is ready.

Next Steps

• Add a timestamp/due date to the todo items
• Convert everything to React components
• Have some integration with Google Calendar, or iCal
• Implement a simple cache

checklite's Issues

Drag'n'Drop

I would like to be able to rearrange my tasks because deadlines change.

Visual cues for things that are clickable.

I think the pointer should become a hand every time it hovers over something that I can interact with (radio button and the 'x')

The order of which a task is added-- item should be added to the top.

The most recent task should be added to the top of the list-- not the bottom, so I can confirm that the item has been added without having to scroll down.

Command Shortcut Guys

I can't copy, paste, and select all using the command shortcuts.

Edit

Sometimes I wanna make adjustments to certain tasks because deadlines change.
