HNTR

hntr is a realtime collaborative hunting list that helps you prepare for the oncoming winter.

Let's say Prometheus and Bob have a shopping list for their brand new cave. They both hunt in different jungles, and have a common set of supplies needed for the winter:

  • impala meat
  • flint
  • red vine fruit
  • snakeskin

Last year both had made a similar list before hunting, but when they joined up before winter found that both had found way too much impala meat and no flint to cook it with!

This year, they have shiny new smartphones and decide to make a synced todo list that can be checked at each hunter's convenience. The lists should update silently to not scare away any impala.

Usage

If you want to join the hunt, just open a few tabs, add items to the list. When you find an item, check it off and it should be checked and disabled for all hunters. When you leave the page, other hunters are notified.
