name: Chore Wheel description: "A household chore scheduler with fair rotation, who's-up-next, and a completion log." category: home connections: [] version: 1

Purpose & behavior

A fair-rotation chore scheduler for shared households. Each chore card shows the chore name, its frequency (daily/weekly), and which housemate is currently up next. Pressing "Mark done" logs the completion with the date and advances the rotation to the next housemate. A stats bar shows total chores, housemates, and completions this week; a completion log lists recent history. Users can add/remove chores and housemates; everything persists in the browser via localStorage.

Setup

  • Open app.html in any browser — no build step, no dependencies.
  • Replace the fictional sample household in the SEED constant (housemates, chores, log) with your own, or just use the app's add/remove controls — everything saves automatically.

Rebuild instructions

  1. Create app.html with the full source below: warm sage-green/cream theme, gradient hero with stat pills, chore cards with avatar + "up next" + Mark done button, housemate chips, and a completion log.
  2. Implement state {housemates, chores, log} persisted under localStorage key choreWheelV1, seeded from the fictional SEED household (Alex, Sam, Jo).
  3. Implement done(id) to log the completion and advance the chore's next index modulo housemate count; addChore, delChore, addMate, delMate for management.
  4. Open app.html in a browser and verify marking a chore done rotates the assignee and appends a log row.
