Swalden123··on Australia’s new mass surveillance mandate
I don't know how we can stop this. Majority of Australians don't understand the implications of our constantly eroding rights because they are spoon fed bullshit by our media. When 95% of what you hear is cheering on the liberal party here, nothing can change.
Swalden123··on Mea culpa: How developers fix their own simple bugs differently from other devs
I find when bug fixing, I find more bugs that I can't stand and have to fix and accidentally make my commits too large.

Great idea re the HealthKit integration, something I will consider.

The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande is a book written by a doctor on the use of Checklists that actually got me using them in the first place :)

Hi :)

I had quite a few reports of this issue. Dark mode on it's own works, however if you also have Increase Contrast (Under accessibility > Display & Text size on as well it causes this issue. I just submitted an update to Apple 30 minutes ago that will fix this issue once they approve it (Usually within around 12 hours or so) :)

Glad it hit the spot for you :)

I've been able to replicate the issue now, basically, if you have dark mode on and increased contrast on under "Accessibility" > "display and text size" you end up with white text on white backgrounds. A temporary fix would be disabling increased contrast.

I'm going to be making an update now that will allow the app to support increased contrast. It will be live as soon as Apple approve it. Spencer

Thanks for your kind words :)

Amazingly in SwiftUI there still is no way to open a different email app without writing a lot of code as a workaround. I'll see if I can change it to be long-pressable in the meantime.
Swalden123··on Show HN: I built an app to create repeatable checklists to help with ADHD
Accessibility is something I am currently working on. Should be 100% soon :)
Swalden123··on Show HN: I built an app to create repeatable checklists to help with ADHD
Not currently in the works. Once I'm happy the iOS app is bug free and where I want it to be I will potential build one.
Swalden123··on Show HN: I built an app to create repeatable checklists to help with ADHD
I have that same problem with todo apps where things get lost in them.

Definitely want to add categorising lists soon. For pre-populated lists I was planning on some sort of community/sharing system in the ftureu.

For your 3. would categorising/nesting lists cover that?

Swalden123··on Show HN: I built an app to create repeatable checklists to help with ADHD
You can rename existing lists by tapping edit on the top left and then tapping the name :) Renaming items is coming soon.
Swalden123··on Show HN: I built an app to create repeatable checklists to help with ADHD
Did you send the email to help@checkyourlist.app?
Swalden123··on Show HN: I built an app to create repeatable checklists to help with ADHD
I wanted to give people a chance to try out the app before purchasing, unfortunately there isn't a way to do both currently.

There is an email list for feature updates :) You can subscribe on the website: https://checkyourlist.app/

Thanks for the info, will have an update submitted hopefully today to resolve the issue.
Swalden123··on Show HN: I built an app to create repeatable checklists to help with ADHD
Thanks for the detailed info. I'm working on an update today :)
Swalden123··on Show HN: I built an app to create repeatable checklists to help with ADHD
Awesome workaround with shortcuts! Something I'm definitely going to find useful.

I'll hopefully have an update submitted at the end of today that fixes any bugs with dark mode.

It's basically the overhead of testing as an indie developer as well as using SwiftUI which is missing a lot of important functionality pre iOS 14. Supporting iOS 13 would unfortunately triple the amount of code I need to write.
Swalden123··on Show HN: I built an app to create repeatable checklists to help with ADHD
I agree on needing the whole row tappable, its been recurring feedback I've been getting so I will get that happening!

I used to use workflowly, it was great :) I never could quite stick with it for some reason however no idea why.

Quick question, in workflowly can you uncheck the whole list easily?

Swalden123··on Show HN: I built an app to create repeatable checklists to help with ADHD
I don't use too much voice apps much. Are you basically setting a reminder and at the time it just announces the reminder? In which case I can definitely see how that could help!

That's awesome you've found ways to cope as a single parent with ADHD, that must be a serious challenge.

Swalden123··on Show HN: I built an app to create repeatable checklists to help with ADHD
I know what you mean. Pretty much any ADHD tool is actually going to be valuable to everyone.

From a marketing point of view, I had to start somewhere with an audience I knew to get my message across :)

Hi! Basically the data is stored in iCloud in the same way your Apple reminders and notes are. I never have access to the data as it is stored on your local device and Apples server.

So in terms of security and privacy, your essentially trusting Apple itself.

Swalden123··on Show HN: I built an app to create repeatable checklists to help with ADHD
Sharing checklists/presets/a checklist community is definitely something I am considering :)

I'm going to make an update soon to make the entire item tappable.

Swalden123··on Show HN: I built an app to create repeatable checklists to help with ADHD
Thank you :) I'm going to keep it as simple as I can
Swalden123··on Show HN: I built an app to create repeatable checklists to help with ADHD
Thank you :) Good luck with your own app!

Hi! Thanks for letting me know you are having a problem. I'm unable to replicate any problems with dark mode in some tests I am doing. Can you let me know what device you are using and where the text is?
Swalden123··on Show HN: I built an app to create repeatable checklists to help with ADHD
So what you need is an option to have checklists that auto uncheck? I'm currently planning on having a settings that is individual to each Checklist you can set that determines this behaviour :)

That's one of the great things about being a SwiftUI app :) (and not adding a tonne of bloat)
