Why?
I created Lisst because I needed an online trip log that was easy to update while I’m on the go. It’s designed with simplicity and minimalism in mind, and can be run easily on Heroku.
Live Demo
There is a sandboxed version of Lisst running at http://lisst-demo.herokuapp.com/edit that does not require a login.
You can also see trip log that prompted me to write Lisst at http://whereis.qrohlf.com

- Google authentication for editing
- Save-as-you-type
- Interface optimized for mobile and desktop use
- Postgres or SQLite3 databases supported out of the box

Lisst is a one-man project by @qrohlf. If you’ve done something cool with Lisst, I’d love to see it, so shoot me an email at [email protected]. I’m happy to accept pull requests, but keep in mind that this is intended to be a very minimalist project, with a focus on creating a simple and easy-to use app rather than a feature-rich one.
