A bug with m.checkvist.com: Tasks due today are shown due yesterday.

If I create a task using the web interface and mark it as due ^today, it will show as due [today] on checkvist.com, but as due [yesterday] when viewed on m.checkvist.com.  The same goes for tasks created on m.checkvist.com, with the additional wrinkle that for half a second, immediately after creation, they show as due [today] before flipping to show as due [yesterday].

(I'm using ^today to indicate how they are entered / edited and [today] to indicate the white-on-magenta display.)

Time zone problem?

    I am EST. It's the same day here and UTC, so maybe the time zone guess is wrong.

    It is still likely something with time zone between where servers are (Netharlands?) and us. There might be some calculation on client side that is being mis-interpreted.

    Hello! Sorry for the problem. Could you please check your time zone settings on the profile page, https://checkvist.com/auth/profile#status ? If it shows your correct time zone, then it's apparently a bug, we'll be fixing it.

    Yes it shows the correct timezone and it works fine on the regular site. The issue is only with the new mobile m.checkvist site.
    Thanks for looking into it!

    Same here.  My timezone is properly set on checkvist.com, but all my mobile dates are a day earlier than all my web dates.

    Another question. Do you have the same timezone set on your mobile device as on the main site? Currently, the m.checkvist.com should show the due date in the timezone of the mobile device.

    Yes. Everything is in the same timezone: EST.

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.  What I feel is missing is more use cases.  How are people using Checkvist?  What are some recommend workflows?  How many lists do you have? User Stories will not only help those of use already using Checkvist to be more effective, but attract more non-technical customers. I like to keep my lists at a minimum.  I only split out for sharing but I'd prefer not to. Here are my lists: * Inbox:  This is where zapier based integrations go.  I have Jira tickets and emails tagged with "!action" going to list which I process daily. * The List:  This is my primary list.  Everything is here.  I use sub-nodes for different areas. * Honey Do:  This is the list my wife and I share to make sure we know what we both want done around the house. * "Client Project" - I have a few Lists I share with clients (Free lance web developer). I"m looking to write a more detailed blog post. How are your l...

Hello friends

Hello friends, We are considering to change behaviour of move up/down command using ctrl+arrows for lists with hierarchy. The new approach is available on our beta site, https://beta.checkvist.com . Could you please try it out and tell us what you think? Thanks! https://beta.checkvist.com

Hello friends!

Hello friends! I'd like to ask for your opinion regarding multi-line text editing. This suggestion comes from one of our Russian-speaking customers Dolina Zamkova so here is a translated abstract of our email conversation. Current problem: When you write multi-line text, you must press 'Shift-Enter' first, then use 'Enter' to start a new line, then 'Ctrl-Enter' to submit the text. Wouldn't it be easier to have a setting that will allow using Enter to always write multi-line texts, and always submit on 'Ctrl-Enter', like you do it in text messengers? So we could add a new account-wide setting, on the Settings page: () Finish editing by pressing 'Ctrl-Enter' (convenient for multi-line text) What do you think? Do you write multi-line texts in Checkvist at all? Other thoughts of how we could make it better? :)
