The Collaborative Checklist

Tracking gear across the whole crew.

The trip’s shared checklist lives in the Crew & Gear tab. Once a trip has members, the checklist becomes collaborative — items can be assigned to specific people, who’s bringing what is visible at a glance, and only the assigned person can mark an item as packed.

Two views

The collaborative checklist has a toggle at the top: By category | By person.

  • By category (default) — items grouped by gear category (cooking, sleeping, recovery, etc.). Easiest for planning.
  • By person — items grouped by assignee. Easiest for seeing who’s carrying what. Your own items appear at the top; unclaimed items at the bottom.

Your selection persists in the URL hash (#view-person or #view-category).

Adding an item

Form at the bottom of the checklist:

  • Category dropdown (Cooking, Sleeping, Recovery, etc.)
  • Item description (e.g. “Coleman 2-burner stove”)
  • Add button

Submit. The item appears in the list, unassigned (no one’s bringing it yet).

The progress bar

Top of the checklist: a gold progress bar showing X / Y items packed. Updates as items get checked off.

Assignment chips

Each item has an assignment chip on the right side:

  • Gray pill with a name — assigned to someone (real member or placeholder)
  • Gold pill — assigned to you (highlights so you can spot yours quickly)
  • “Unclaimed” — nobody’s assigned to bring this yet

The “⋯” menu

Each item has a “⋯” button revealing options:

  • I’ll bring this — self-assign
  • Assign to… — dropdown of crew members (real and placeholder)
  • Remove — delete the item from the list

The “On your list” callout

If you’re a crew member and have items assigned to you, a callout box appears above the trip’s tabs showing only your items with checkboxes. The most useful glance-view when you’re about to head out.

Who can check items off

Only the assigned person can check an item as packed. The checkbox is visible to everyone but disabled for non-assignees. This prevents accidental check-offs and keeps the source of truth with the person responsible.

Unclaimed items are checkable by anyone, but really should be claimed first.
