And yes, I have been using LLMs to quite some extend. And I carry the moral conflict in me: To keep up with a digital revolution while trying to maintain digital sovereignty and ethics towards privacy and intellectual property. The good thing is (I wrote about that before) with these LLMs I can develop crazy stuff. Stuff that would have taken me weeks. And I can develop on a level that I haven't been able for a long time. Proper test coverage? No problem. DDD? Developing against acceptance criteria? Perfect documentation? Of course!
I have to admit: It's fun.
Using checklist
Actually it all started with David Allen's Getting Things Done, but latest since reading Atomic Habits I have been more and more working with checklists. Tiny, little lists for every occasion. Monday morning? Why not start with my tiny "Kick off the week" checklist: Inbox zero, resolve schedule conflicts, block away time for deep work, delegate next backlog to the upcoming five days. Friday evening? Why not work away my "Friday closure" checklist. However, I was always looking for a good application to maintain these lists and fire them up as soon as the right moment arrived. I never found one.
INCH
Enter Claude Code. And say Hello 👋 to INCH. The tiny progressive web app, that unobtrusively let you manage your chores. You can configure checklist and then schedule them or run them manually. At the moment it's based on localStorage (which means: your browser). It's there to get out of the way: No annoying reminders, no silent guilt of not having done your tasks. The lists are waiting for you until you need them. You can run it here from inside your browser. Simply create some checklists and let them run as you need them.
We are at version 0.1.0 - so don't expect magic. But I will continue working on this to let it go to beta. If you want to give feedback, please do so at my Mastodon account - thank you. Much appreciated!
