    OPML describes a structure, Indesign is a publishing tool. 
    What kind of conversion do you expect?

    i am aware of that. indesign provides the ability to handle xml files as a means of structuring content and formatting with predefined styles. so i was wondering whether the contents in a checkvist list can be "automatically" distributed among formatting styles and paragraphs rather than having to re-format rich-text with tabs and such..

    Thanks for the advice! I'll look into it to see whether I can deal with it.. japanese and coding are two things I don't normally use.. ;)
    Generally asking: To me, it would be a great thing to see some widely used exporting options in checkvist, such as word, excel, even the described XML for Indesign (maybe even more).. As checkvist is my go to application for anything that needs structuring (long before mindmaps that is), i often need to be able to import it somewhere else for further editing / formatting / layout without having to delete tabs/spaces/semicolons and such in a tedious process. (maybe there's a nice opml converting tool out there?) 
    as for the rest: you really know how to build a user-friendly tool! thank you for making my life easier!

    Yes I agree - It would be great if you took care of the export function for us beyond the clipboard appraoch.  it took me a half hour of research to figure out how to get the clipboard based .opml into OmniOutliner.  First I had to paste into Word - then save as .txt and then change the suffix to .opml and then open from Omni.   Now that I know it's not too bad - but I hate to think of all the folks that run into the same thing and just give up and move onto to another app with export.  You are so close - taking that final step for us would be awesome.  Thanks Kiril!

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? :)
