Any idea for a self hosted home maintenance reminder system? Essentially something that will have reminders for things that reoccur regularly either ie yearly, monthly etc. Ideally it would have some way of checking it off to show the task was completed and then it would reoccur at the preset time next month /year etc.
I was thinking about making something like this actually.
I’m just getting into self hosting some things so I’ll see what I can come up with in the next few months.
Were you thinking like a web app that is basically a reoccurring to-do list, but it’s more maintenance focused?
I built a similar app for Android, but it’s limitedvright now, mostly a to-do list with a due date, no reoccurring, and no notifications.
Web app is probably best. That makes it easy to share with other members in the family so anyone can check off a task once done. Also having tasks pile up when they are not done is also very useful so you can see the backlog. It’s close to a calendar app but not quite optimized for something like this.
Ideally tasks could have a description section that explains how to do it, like flushing the water heater could have be exact steps written for the heater tank that you have specifically avoiding the need to keep looking it up every year.
There are several good webapps like this already, but they all are paid and locked in to their platform.
