Two intermittent issues that have been annoying me about Checkvist.

Two intermittent issues that have been annoying me about Checkvist. Neither is consistent enough for me to capture via screenshots, unfortunately: 1. List items with multiple line breaks sometimes appear compressed (i.e. with only single line breaks, even when I've included double or triple) after "saving". Workaround is to reactivate the item and immediately close it....it usually appears correct. 2. Sometimes after editing and closing an item, the text appears as a very light grey, and does a very slow fade-to-black. Until it finally turns black, you can't re-open it for editing in any way. I'm guessing this is the CheckVist server lagging on a save action.
"Send me change digest for the last 24 hours" never works.

Some people ask us why do we send out emails to the customers who seem to abandon our tool.

Some people ask us why do we send out emails to the customers who seem to abandon our tool. Well, the first reason is to know what to improve, but there's also the second -- to receive emails like this one. Thank you @Adam :)

This might be a really ridiculous question, but here goes.

This might be a really ridiculous question, but here goes. I'm making a checklist for collectible items in a video game because I can't seem to find one anywhere else, and I'd like to share it so other people can use it. But if I share it, will they get their own version of the list, or will it check off items on all versions? To elaborate, will my list be changed or affected if others use the one I publicly share?

Kirill

Kirill, If you'd prefer, feel free to delete this and reply privately. We've created a very interesting proofing system that draws data from our various checkvist lists. It transforms the data into a final, ready-to-publish design. I'd like to make an offer and a request: Offer: you're welcome to the code for this system if you think it might be helpful. I realize only a small % of your users are using CheckVist to create publishing projects, but with this code perhaps you could increase that %. We are happy to share. Request: the system has a "global export" function that exports all our final-proof content to a single HTML file. It draws data from all our CheckVist pages at once (100 pages maximum). We won't do this often, but, if you want, we can commit to doing it only in low-traffic time periods. Just tell us the best time. I ran such an export 15 minutes ago (at 10:42am EST) if you want to see what it looks like in your logs. I don't believe it...

Is Global search based on some sort of maintained index?

Is Global search based on some sort of maintained index? I'm new to Checkvist and in testing the global filter several times I've added tasks and then filtered for a keyword in the task name and it hasn't appeared for several minutes.

What's going on with encoding?

What's going on with encoding? If I type (including the angle brackets), I get an empty item. I tried XSS but fortunately that doesn't work, at least not trivially. Why isn't everything HTML-encoded by default?
