I actually love the idea of chore tracking. Furthermore, I think this can be turned into a game. Add a point system for chores where once a chore is completed y

  The way it currently works, chores have a frequency with which they need to be done, and the overall list is sorted by (time since last completion / period). This makes it easy to see the next few things that need doing. Chores can be claimed, which makes it slightly easier to avoid stepping on each other's toes. We require N chores be completed every day to maintain a streak. Every M chores completed, you also earn a credit, which can be spent in place of doing one chore. We've found this to be a nice tradeoff between the rigidity but motivation of "don't break the streak" and the flexibility to have days when we're genuinely too busy to do all the chores. Another nice feature for us nerds is that the chore list is maintained in a git repository (or several). What I'd like to do is split the front end from the back end in a way that allows me to interact with multiple households/contexts that might be shared with different groups of people.
