Minimum Comparisons and Initial List View Work Done

The app now demands a certain number of minimum comparisons before showing a link to the ranked list. The formula is somewhat arbitrary: Log base 2 (# active items) + 2 * # new items - recent comparisons - recent items marked Done. This will probably change, especially if I put some smarts into choosing the items to compare. As of now two items are simply chosen randomly.

Also, when the minimum comparison number is satisfied, a link will now appear to view the list in rank order in a new window. The next task is to get this to be the right order, at the moment it is just random.

Battles Working

The front page will now choose two random items to face off. You can choose one, and the results will be saved to the db.

Pre Alpha

LDM has progressed from proto-pre-alpha to pre-alpha.


Placeholders for all the main structures of the site have been added. Site design will be one of the last items completed, so it may look a mess for now.


L.D., the site's moth mascot is up.


One can also add up to 10 to do items to a list. There is only one list for now. Individual accounts will be added in the future.

Pre-Pre-Pre-Pre-Pre Launch

Check out the Large Dead Moth proto-pre-alpha!

Large Dead Moth is intended to be a small, useful, free Web app for keeping track of ALL your to-do items, and automagically prioritizing them. More details will be coming soon, but at the moment I can tell you this: The goal of Large Dead Moth is to create a fun and quick method for solving the problem we all confront every day: picking the crucial items from a large to-do list to attack first.

Right now, all it is is a Web page that says "Large Dead Moth" on it, but that will soon change.
