Show HN: I made a tool to make paper planning easier. Open-source and a service

Hi HN!

TodayChecklist provides a way of getting boiler-plate documents filled out and printed quickly. I do a lot of planning in notebooks and on paper, but fall back to various tools on the computer for longer-form writing, like project outlines.

One of the templates in TodayChecklist is for projects and asks me for the name of the project, what it looks like for it to be successful, why I am doing it, and finally a list of steps to complete the project. Once I answer those questions, I can print it out and drop it in with my paper system.

There are default templates like that and various checklists, and you can make your own templates with your own questions to answer too.

I’m very excited because this is the first time I’ve used Stripe to directly monetize a website. You can sign up for free and make up to 7 documents and 5 templates, if you find it useful past that you can subscribe for unlimited documents and templates.

Finally, the whole thing is open source[0], and includes an ansible role for installing on Debian 11.

Thank you for reading and I hope you find it useful!
