"Streamlining Checklist Management: Exploring Tauri App Development for Personal Tasks"

Mar 8, 2025 - 7:07pmSummary: The user is considering building a Tauri app to manage and create custom checklists, such as for obtaining a private pilot's license. The app would allow users to install modules and generate checklists that can be printed or shared as files. They are contemplating whether to use a local database or JSON files for data storage and syncing across devices, possibly with a simple cloud service for cross-device access. The user is currently leaning towards using local browser storage but is open to exploring better solutions. They acknowledge it's a niche idea but see potential in simplifying the process of managing personal checklists. The user is about to pick up Katie and head to Suchyota, indicating they might not delve into this idea further immediately.

Transcript: Okay. I kind of have like a really simple idea and it, okay, I don't know exactly how it'll work yet, but maybe I build like a Tauri app or something like this. And it allows you to install like modules and you can create them yourself as well directly within the app. And it provides like a few basic features for you. One being say, like, for example, I'm getting the private pilot's license right now or trying to learning how to, and I want to make my own checklist. And I would also love to be able to distribute a checklist app. And that's like totally something that does not require a cloud subscription, but also would be useful across devices. And it also doesn't require its own app. Like I want it for printable checklists. And maybe this is just like a very niche thing, but like, come on, like, like this shouldn't be a hard problem to solve of like, I need like my own database of my own checklist, as well as, you know, being able to actually like write them out and make them in the application itself. And like, that's about it. You know, I mean, it would be great to import other people's checklists and effectively that's file sharing. Like it doesn't really need to be much more complicated than that, but there's probably some like cleaner patterns. And like, I guess like if it's just file sharing, like, does that make it more portable to like large language models or something like this as well? Cause they're like, Oh, you just need a file of this format or of this data schema type. Like I have that data schema type. I can share that. That that's like kind of what I'm wondering is like, can I just define a data structure? I honestly don't know if it needs to be a database or straight up just like JSON files. Part of me is just like, just do JSON files and sync JSON files. And it's like, do I build my own like a little, you know, cloud service thing where I just sign in anywhere? And it's like, that's what gets me there. I don't know. But, but there's something here. Like, I think I want to scaffold out the actual thing and probably just do like what I did for dumpster page and just do it all within local browser storage. But try to think a little bit more about like how could that work across multiple devices. I don't know. It's just like kind of curiosity at this point. So yeah. I'm going to go pick up Katie now and we're going to go to Suchyota. So that should be good. I'm gonna give it up.
