Just imported a hierarchic video playlist into Checkvist, with minutes and hours hash-tagged.

Just imported a hierarchic video playlist into Checkvist, with minutes and hours hash-tagged. The new time planning feature nicely summed up the chapter times. There are many things you can do with Checkvist. :) The seconds got lost, though.

Noticed two things. (1) #5m, #05m, #005m are all different tags. Maybe should automatically be normalized. (2) The "All tags" page grows with lots of time tags at the beginning.

Makes me think whether time tags should really be "normal" tags, or if that's too much of generalization (because it's easy and elegant to implement with an existing concept). I think of them differently, as was first apparent when I didn't want ct to clear the time tags.

    Thanks for trying this, and I'm glad it worked :)

    I think time tags should have a separate section on the "All tags" page, because there still could be interest regarding the number of tasks estimated with a particular value. Still, it has a little sense to mix time tags with non-time ones.

    We really did not want to introduce a different internal concept here, hence the re-using of tags.

    Some kind of separation would do it. It's good to have an option to see all 10 min tasks, for instance.

    I can understand your design decision. Now time tags are here, and working with them just feels a little different. Don't know if another prefix (in addition to @, ^, #) would have been better than adding application semantics to a standard tag – which you've been brave enough to do.

    Just found out that I didn't write that this has been implemented already, we have a separate "Time" section on the Tags page. But most likely you've already noticed this :)

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? :)
