Feat: default lists?

[nelsonic]

As hinted in dwyl/app#305 (comment) our plan is to have several kinds of list in the App:

while we definitely don't want to overwhelm people with features when they first try the App,
we do want to have a think about a few generally applicable lists that most people would find useful.

Potential default lists

• All 🦄
• Goals 🎯
• Fitness 🏋️‍♂️
• Meals 🥗
• Recipes 🧾
• Reading 📚
• Shopping 🛒
• Today ⏳
• Todo ✅

What categories of lists would you have if you needed to keep track of a variety of items in your life?

For reference, here's how I have my side-panel on Notion (which I don't really use regularly, it's more of an info dumping place than anything).

Although I do find that Fitness, Meal Prepping and Projects (one list for each one) would fit for me, I don't based of what metric should they be considered "default". People might use this app to create lists for virtually anything.

However, I believe Fitness and Recipes/Meals and Reading are the most important:

• Fitness is very relevant for logging purposes and it's very important the person is able to see graphs and insights of their progress.
• Meals follow a set of instructions.
• Reading would entail a dedicated space for thoughts during/after reading.

The others you've mentioned (Today, Todo, Goals) can easily be boiled down to simple todo interfaces. They don't necessarily need a specific UI/UX to fulfill their purpose.

@LuchoTurtle insightful ref for your Notion interface. 👌

Agree that many features don’t require custom interface/experience. 📱
As soon as we have a way to move items to different lists we should unlock a lot more functionality. So we need to enable dynamic Nav as soon as we have #400

I’d be very keen to build the Fitness interface. 💪

@iteles you’ve used quite a few task managers / notes apps. Your thoughts/insights are requested. 🙏

Storing this test here for later so it's not cluttering the codebase unnecessarily:

    test "create_default_lists/1 creates the default lists" do
      # Should have no lists:
      person_id = 5
      lists = App.List.get_lists_for_person(person_id)
      assert length(lists) == 0
      # Create the default lists for this person_id:
      assert List.create_default_lists(person_id) |> length() == 9
    end
