Collect list statistics

Some list statistics might be interesting, e.g.:

• Count of all lists
• Count of actual lists, i.e. which were opened at least once after the first day

Experimental branch: https://github.com/noyainrain/listling/tree/list-stats

Auto-Sorting items

Items could be sorted automatically in a number of ways that might be useful:

• Voting: By number of votes
• Time: By start time
• Tags: By (first) tag name
• Alphabetically
• ...

Subscribe

• Auto-Subscribe
  • to list on create
  • to item on create
  • to item if user gets responsibility over item another way (assign)
• Unsubscribe is always possible
• If user clicks subscribe, ask for channel if not given yet
• Maybe: On first list interaction, ask if user wants to subscribe (and for channel if not given yet)

class Item:
    # Read activity, publish to _activities
    self.activity = Activity()
    self._activities = MultiplexActivity(self.activity, self.list.activity)
    # Or: Read and publish to activity, publish is forwarded to list
    self.activity = ChainActivity(self.list.activity)

About vision

• The idea of Listling is to fill the gap between collaborative pads and spreadsheets.
• If you are working on a plain text document, a pad is the way to go. But if you need more structure and support for e.g. ordering, commenting, voting on or assigning to items, give Listling a try.
• If you are working with tabular data, maybe even do calculations on it, a spreadsheet is the way to go. But if this is too much for your use case and something more streamlined suffices, give Listling a try.

Further ideas:

• Collaborative photo album
• Shared contact list
• Chat message bookmarks (forwarding message to a bot will add it to list)
• Order (e.g. food delivery)
