Daily chore completion history / activity log

[NicholasBoulanger]

It would be useful to have a day-by-day history of completed chores/tasks.

Currently, completed tasks can be viewed, but there doesn't appear to be an easy way to answer something like:

• What chores did I complete today?
• What did I complete yesterday?
• When was the last time I completed a specific chore?
• Which household member completed each chore?

Ideally, there could be a simple History / Activity view showing completed chores grouped by date, for example:

Today

• Vacuumed — Nick — 10:30 AM
• Dishes — Nick — 7:15 PM
• Took out trash — Sarah — 8:00 PM

Yesterday

• Cleaned bathroom — Nick — 6:20 PM

It would also be useful to tap a recurring chore and see its previous completion dates.

This could reuse the existing task completion data rather than introducing a separate chore tracking system.

A calendar-style view or simple chronological activity feed would both work well.

Good questions, and the answer to why none of them can be answered today is worth stating plainly: a task does not record when it was completed, or by whom. It carries a status, and done is a state, not an event. There is no completed_at, no completed_by. So the history you are asking for is not hidden behind a missing view - the data is not being written.

There is one partial exception, and it shows the feature is feasible: reward_ledger already stores user_id, task_id and created_at for every task that awards points, written on the transition to done. That is your log, for a subset. Two reasons it cannot simply be surfaced as the answer: it only exists for tasks that carry points and only while the Rewards module is on, and a unique index deliberately allows one earn row per task and person - so a recurring chore completed weekly appears once, which is precisely the "when was the last time" case you want.

So this needs completion events recorded in their own right. Which brings the one consequence worth knowing before it is built: it starts empty. Whatever is added can only describe completions from that point on; the weeks already ticked off cannot be reconstructed, because nothing wrote them down.

Staying open, and the shape you sketched - grouped by day, name and time per entry - is the right one.
