The Lists of 30 App, at app.listsof30.com, is built around one constraint: every topic gets exactly 30 items. Not 10 tips. Not an endless scroll. Thirty considered items that move from the obvious to the personal.
Read the published lists, borrow from them, and write your own with help from the co-writer.
Browsing
The Discover feed holds more than 200 published lists by Clemens Wan, plus community lists that have passed review. It is shuffled by default. Switch to “Most recent” to see the newest first.
Without an account you can read the first 10 items of any list. Sign in, free, to read all 30.
Borrowing
Reading a list you like, you can pick items from it and borrow them into a draft of your own. Borrowed items keep a note crediting where they came from.
Writing a list
The composer splits a list into three zones of ten:
| Zone | Items | What goes there |
|---|---|---|
| Opening | 1 to 10 | The obvious ones. Get them down fast; they clear the way. |
| Middle | 11 to 20 | Where it gets specific. Slower going, better material. |
| Closing | 21 to 30 | The ten only you could write. |
When you get stuck, open the co-writer for suggestions (see The Co-Writer). Your draft saves after every keystroke.
When all 30 are done, a single “Publish & share all 30” button appears. To appear in Discover, submit the list for review. A person reviews every submission, usually within a day or two, and you can keep editing while it waits.
The Item 30 rule
Item 30 is never tactical. It is a zoom-out: a vulnerable admission, a reframe, or the truth the first 29 items were building toward. If item 30 could have been item 12, it is not done.
Sharing
Sharing a list turns it into a set of branded image slides, ready to post as a carousel.
Accounts
Reading and writing work without an account. A guest’s draft is saved on the device, and when you sign in for the first time it moves into your account.
An account lets you publish, submit to Discover, keep your lists across devices, and get notifications when your list is published or someone borrows from it. Sign in with Google or with a link sent to your email. There is no password.
The profile menu has a “Leave feedback” option that sends a message straight to Clemens.
