I wonder if you guys would consider an improvement to the layout of the 'Due Repeat' dialogue/form?

Because of the linear layout of the day letters (M, T to S) and checkboxes, it often takes me more time than necessary to pick which checkboxes to select (process: "hmm, day labels are to the right of the checkbox, so for Tuesday it must be the checkbox to the left of the 'T' ")

Ideally the letters should be above or below the checkboxes, at least for me. It's possible I'm a bit visually dense, but hopefully Checkvist is for dense folk too ;)

    Hello, Crispin! Yes, valid point, thanks! How about this? Just a bit denser, but less ambiguous:

    Hi Sasha. Thank you - that's definitely an improvement, though I'd suggest if you're going to keep the checkboxes and day labels vertically-aligned, the order would be better as Mon - Tue - Wed -Thur on the top line, the others below (us European derived folks tend to scan left-right first, then up-down).

    I had something in mind more vertically separated, ie. something like the below (allowing for my nonexistent image editing skills). I'm aware though you might have technical reasons for the layout you have. Also what's seems clear to me may be no more than my own idiosyncrasy ;)

    Hi, Crispin!
    Sorry for the long silence - and Happy New year!
    Yes, got it now. Let's keep all days in one line. Scheduled for the next update!

    Sounds great Sasha, thanks. It's only a minor detail, but Checkvist has many great little details so it will be in good company :)

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? :)
