http://chcheck.com http://chcheck.com You can create checklists, create and track changes between instances, diff changes between the master and instances, create iterative checklists, embed checklists in other checklists and set dependencies. Also the interface was built with usability and flexibility in mind. I have also added task, data list, comment, contact and document management since all of those are necessary for a good process management tool. My inspiration for this was the fact that process and workflow management is a pain point for individuals and small businesses and there have been no easy-to-setup, user focused solutions out there. I will be putting up a directory of public checklists in the near future, once the rest of the product is stable and usable. I was waiting to post this but until I was ready to open signups but I have working on it for the last 4 months. Email me if you want to be a Beta user: daniel at chcheck dot com. There are some bugs but it is definitely usable.

I will be putting up a directory of public checklists in the near future. Isn't the idea posted above more focused on the crowdsourcing/directory aspect of this, and not so much the "I've created a great checklist creator!" part? It's not "EXACTLY" what s/he's talking about by any means.

  I apologize if that seemed like an exaggeration. The directory is why I created this product, that feature is just not out-the-door yet. This post was a little earlier than I was planning. One of the intentions of the product is to handle these large distributed processes with the management of a Master Checklist that can be diffed with other masters and instances. I added that feature to facilitate those sort of crowdsourced checklists/processes.

Looks sharp, but it looks like it's somewhat more orientated towards businesses - this isn't a bad thing, but inline with the original HN request above, I think you will likely need two workflows: business and 'public'. The public workflow would need to be super-simple looking (that whole web 2.0-ish look 'n feel) with prominent search. Perhaps something like: chcheck.com/business vs chcheck.com/public and chcheck.com/ would represent the user's path choice. Just some thoughts - perhaps you're already moving down a similar path. Best of luck!

  chcheck is designed first and foremost to be useful for individuals, small teams and small businesses. The current interface is in the process of being given a more understandable and inviting initial user experience to accomplish that.

    I briefly considered the implications of a similar service which would gather checklists of important dates for small businesses. For example, tax return filing dates, sales tax quarterly payments, business license renewal dates, etc. The rough idea was that you would collect this public information, add a calendar/reminder component and then localize (which would be the hard part). It sounds as if you may be going down this path at some point in the future. If so, I think it would be a very interesting service for which small businesses might pay a token yearly fee.

OK, so I've landed on the login page, logged in, and now I want to say - "I'm getting a new washing machine - what's my checklist." Alternatively, I've had a bad experience getting a washing machine, and I want to add the item: "When buying a washing machine, make sure it can accept mains pressure hot water." I can't see how to do that.

  The app you are logged into is a place to create and share your checklists with a defined group of users, for team and business settings. What you are looking at also provides the interface you login to when you want to create checklists or work with one of your running checklist instances. What you are talking about, the directory piece of the puzzle, is in development and almost out the door. It will allow you to find checklists in this manner and clone them into your account so you can edit them and create any number of instances based on them.

    OK, based on a very brief splash, I think you need to email me in a week to tell me what I can do, then email me a week after that telling me what more I can do, and what people have already created on it, including you. If you want me to be a beta tester - and I'm happy to play with it for 5 minutes each week and risk getting sucked into more - then I need to know that it's got something I want. Currently I can't see anything I want. I can't even really understand what it does have. It looks good, it looks like there might be substance, but from the screen I'm on I can't understand what it thinks I'm trying to do. Does that make sense? I'll email you separately, and this isn't entirely negative, and I want it to work for me. And what's a "module"? And what does "Add a new object" mean?

      Again -- a feature that wasn't ready for public consumption. The system has a few different objects that can be embedded in pages and checklists - todo lists, data lists, docs, files, comments and other checklists. The feature needs some work before its usable.

I am working on a few of the features of chcheck.com for Daniel, and I also helped him out with another project. We have been using chcheck checklists and to-do lists during the actual development of chcheck.com, and also with the other side project. Shared checklists were quite useful, as we used them for planning, bug testing, deployment, etc.. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished site with all of the features Daniel has in mind fully implemented
