I think localization needs some work. In particular, there are some start of week and timezone issues.

I live in Israel, where the week starts on Sunday. However, I'm seeing all the calendars and checkboxes start with Monday.

Also, in my profile, it incorrectly detects the timezone as being Athens instead of Jerusalem/Israel.

In any case, I think it's a mistake to rely exclusively on detection. It makes sense to use it to set defaults, but both of these should be settings that the user can manually set.

I travel often and use browsers in different countries. I expect to continue to see things "my way", and not whatever happens to be the "local way". It's just like language: if I travel to Russia, say, I wouldn't expect the interface to switch to Russian all of a sudden just because the timezone changed. That would be just a little bit confusing.

    Hello Noam, thanks for writing about the problem.

    Actually, it is supposed that a user can change its timezone, but looks like we've broken this feature.
    Going to fix it soon. and will let you know.

    Thanks again,

    Noam Kfir Hello again, could you please check if changing timezone works correctly on https://beta.checkvist.com (same login/password)? I've made a fix which should work.

    Thanks!

    Kirill Maximov I was able to change the timezone. Thanks for fixing that. However, the calendar week still starts on Monday instead of Sunday.

    Glad it works for you. As for the week start - we don't have an option about the exact day where to start the week, and this information is not available in the timezone, as far as I know. May be we'll introduce it, but a bit later.

    Thanks!

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? :)
