Neat! Congrats on the launch.

I built something similar as a feature embedded in a niche product aimed at helping manage a specific type of business many years ago.

The most popular part of the feature was the gamification built on top of reporting. Managers enjoyed the checklists being completed (and reported) more accurately. Staff enjoyed getting a (small) raise for being on the leaderboard.

Basically we just tracked who specifically marked an item off the checklist as complete. Then provided reports (and printable awards) to management.

The business would then implement a program like “whoever completes the most tasks per quarter gets a $0.50/hr raise”.

These checklists were things like “Front of house AM” “Back of house Lunch” etc. with a step by step list of things that needed to be done.

Just throwing that out there as an idea for a future iteration for you.

That's great! Thanks for the annecdote.

I've thought this is a well matched tool for small businesses, like cafes and repair shops with low-tenure workers and onboarding them quickly. If there's success here, I'll roll out Teams as a feature, which is about 80% done and hidden behind some feature flags.

this could backfire and it is possible only mgmt likes it. There's always people who are good at closing tickets but not good at actually solving anything.

Yes, it could. Largely depends on the team, industry, etc.

In our little niche the median age of a typical employee is ~21. The tasks are things like “mop the floor”.

Yes, maybe someone half-asses mopping the floor to get the points.

I’ve met many a 20-something daily user of the software who comment positively on the Daily Checklist feature. I’m sure there are those who disliked it too and just didn’t say anything.
