Hello, friends!

Hello, friends!

It's been a long time since we felt the urge to re-work Checkvist user interface, to make it simpler, more minimalistic, to make room for other features and changes. 

We're not just changing the user interface, we're also simplifying project's code and architecture, which is anything but easy. There may be some glitches, there may be bugs, but we hope that in the end we'll get a better, cleaner, faster tool which will allow further changes much easier than now. 

It won't be a 'big re-design', it will be a series of tiny steps which we'll be publishing constantly, in each release. 

And of course, we're going to ask you for help :)

Today we uploaded the changes to the Beta server (https://beta.checkvist.com, same credentials, same data) and we'll be glad if you see how it looks and feels on your lists:

- new toolbars
- new list item selection
- new profile pages

Unfortunately, this update can break some of your custom styles. We can't avoid it completely, but we'll be glad to help - just let us know what broke.

Thanks!

    I have been using the beta exclusively for the past week or so and really like it, haven't had any problems.

    Philippe Demoulin Hello, Philippe, sorry didn't see your comment (it was marked as spam for some reason). We've restricted the width of the content area and centred it. So you should see the same empty area on the right as well :) If it's not centred , what version of FireFox is it, and what MacOS version? We'll investigate.

    Michael Hedgpeth Thanks, Michael! Glad to hear that. We're going to deploy some more fixes during this weekend, mostly regarding the list itself. Scary refactorings galore ;)

    Michael Hedgpeth We moved the corresponding option to 'options' menu, shortcut 'oo', as on the list page.

    Hi Philippe Demoulin , actually Sasha Maximova spoke to you under Checkvist account :) May be, we should use our real names in forums?

    Regarding the problem with the view - do you have custom CSS styles? Could they be the reason of the problem?

    If not, could you send us the screenshot of the page which looks badly so we could think what can be done.

    Thanks!

    Got it. It's great that it's accessible by the keyboard now :)

Hello friends

Hello friends, Recently we've got a request to introduce a shortcut to move items to the first/last position on the current level of hierarchy: https://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/15758854-shortcut-to-send-an-item-at-the-top-of-the-current And this bring me to a thought to use the current shortcut (Ctrl+Home/Ctrl+End) for this purpose. But with an extension - if an item is already on the top position on the current hierarchy level, Ctrl+Home would move item one level up (and put it at the beginning of this level). This will break the current behaviour (moving item to the beginning of the list), but probably will make this shortcut more useful. What do you think? https://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/15758854-shortcut-to-send-an-item-at-the-top-of-the-current

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? :)

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
