YOUR SHARED-DEVICE WORKSPACE
SMALL ACTIONS. VISIBLE OWNERSHIP.

Care continues
between shifts.

A task board for foster homes and shelter volunteers. Name the animal, assign the work, and leave a visible handoff for the next person.

Local prototypeSaved in this browser only. Export a handoff file to share it. Names are self-entered aliases, not authenticated identities; this is not live multi-user synchronization.

Add a care task

The board tracks tasks you choose. It gives no veterinary advice, feeding quantities, medication instructions or emergency monitoring.
VISIBLE HANDOFFS

Activity in this browser

    A local activity list can be edited by anyone with device access. It is not an immutable audit trail or proof that care was delivered.

    A HANDOFF ANYONE CAN READ

    From a board to a shift note.

    Export a plain-text snapshot for volunteers who do not use the app. Review it before sharing; it will not update automatically.

    Omitting owner fields does not anonymize names written inside task or animal descriptions.
    PRACTICE TO CREATE / FEEDBACK REQUEST
    Help test the handoff hypothesis.
    This prototype assumes that visible ownership and a readable note could make shift changes clearer. No volunteer interviews or shelter pilot have been conducted yet.
    1. Can a new volunteer identify the next unclaimed task without explanation?
    2. Does the shift note contain enough context, or too much detail?
    3. Would a shared-device workflow fit the organization, or is synchronized access essential?
    Proposed next step: consented coordinator interviews, then a small usability session using fictional animals. Measure task-finding time and missing handoff context; do not claim improved care before evaluation.
    Designed around the handoff.
    Claim → complete → reopen. Tasks need an owner before completion. Unfinished tasks past their due time remain visible. Finished work can be reopened with a new activity entry.
    Portable and explicit. JSON handoff exports contain the board and activity. Imports replace the local board after confirmation. Keep a backup before sharing. No server receives the file.
    Prior work and limits. Adapted from Amrit Lahari's SlothDO. The animal-care board was built previously for AnimalHack. New Practice to Create work is the readable shift-note export, completed-task and owner-field controls, report preview, report tests, feedback plan and narrated presentation. OpenAI Codex assisted with code, tests and documentation.
