Ask HN: How do you do your checklists?

At the moment our Release checklist is as follows:

* Copy a markdown template from Wiki

* Paste into a release channel on Slack

* As steps are completed, post a new message with a emoji

* Once the release is finished then announce on another channel

So my question to you all, is there any apps or better processes out there to make doing a checklist easier?

As in more automation, less copy pasting etc.
