Show HN: Liiists, a Markdown-first, iOS and CLI list app

This is the first app I've made that got all the way to "live." I started to learn this whole vibe-coding thing, and decided to publish/share because I quite like using it myself!

Github: https://github.com/djt53/liiists iOS app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/liiists/id6761671906

It's a pretty simple list app, with three types of lists:

- Lists (self explanatory) - Checklists (also pretty straightforward) - Logs (like lists, but with an adjustable time stamp)

It has a few basic things that I added to address reasons I've never stuck with other list-app options (despite really liking making lists):

- Markdown-first: nothing fancy - Local friendly: if you have iCloud enabled, all your lists are just .md files on your computer as well as in the app - CLI / iOS either or: Plays nicely with a terminal / claude code (brew install djt53/liiists/liiists); you can use the app without the CLI, and the CLI without the app

And a few more playful things, just for fun:

- Discover other users' lists (and publish your own if you'd like) - Suggest new elements in a list (using Apple on device AI)
