Semi-bug: The progress counter gets squished when lists go over 100, due to the 3rd digit. Maybe make text size shrink instead?

    It's really not a big deal at all, just wanted to bring it to your attention

    Ah, I see, thanks! We could make text smaller, but there are lists with >10000 items, so this solution does not scale very well :)

    I often have >99 and >999 items. It’s true that the shape of the PC doesn’t look as homogeneous as it could be. Once I thought maybe a shape more like the one that is used for the tags would be a better fit. Then, completion needs a different visualization, e. g. by filling.

    Ralf Hauber, well, the question is if there is a usability problem or an aesthetic one. I'm afraid so far we're not quite ready for redesign, much more other issues :)

    Kirill Maximov Of course, it's not a priority 1 issue, but since jordan wingenroth mentioned it, I wanted to let him and you know, that he is not the only one noticing.

    As to usability and "appearance on screen" (you said "aesthetics"): Is there a clear cut? For larger lists, scanning the right side of tasks with my eyes isn't as easy because it's not homogeneous and my eyes have to jump left and right. This effects comprehension and performance.

    Hello Ralf Hauber, thanks for the illustration. In your case the problem is more obvious. I suppose it would it help if we place the number of tasks always on the edge, and move duration estimate to the left.

    But your case is a bit different from what jordan wingenroth describes, as I understand. Am I right?

    Ralf Hauber I'd appreciate if you take a look at https://beta.checkvist.com, we tried to improve the situation with alignment there.

    Thanks!

    You are right, Kirill Maximov. On beta, it’s much nicer. :) What gave me a thought is whether the numbers of the counters should be centered or right aligned. Currently 1 and 2 digit numbers are centered, and longer numbers drift a bit to the left. (I guess it’s better to ignore that.) Thanks.

    Ralf Hauber Thanks for the feedback :) So the next checkvist.com update will bring better presentation for counters (as on beta). Regarding the alignment of numbers - I really hope it is not very painful because making a better UI solution is more difficult and probably requires rework of counter presentation at all (and this is a high price for the moment).
    Best,

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? :)
