I'm having trouble adding checkvist offline capability to my updated pixel 2.

I'm having trouble adding checkvist offline capability to my updated pixel 2. None of the instructions I've found on the web seem to work.
I'd also like to use checkvist offline on my computer. Is that capability available yet?

    Hello David Elins, could you please explain a bit how it doesn't work?

    Have you saved the app on the home screen as described at https://checkvist.com/auth/mobile?

    As for offline access from desktop, it is not available, sorry. Unless you open m.checkvist.com - Checkvist Mobile - it works on the desktop as well, but without keyboard support.

    Hi, KIR

    "Simply open
    m.checkvist.com - Checkvist Mobile on your mobile device, save it to the homescreen, log in and sync your lists."

    I am unable to figure out how to save it to the homescreen. (pixel 2, chrome).
    I can create a homescreen widget with selected bookmarks, but checkvist is not one of them, I'd rather have a widget/icon that went directly to checkvist.

    Thanks for your attention.

    Thanks for your prompt reply.

    I think there is a misunderstanding here.

    I am using my mobile device and following the instructions from https://checkvist.com/auth/mobile

    I am unable to figure out how to do the "save it to the homescreen" portion of your instructions. I can create a widget for a list of bookmarks, but not one for an individual website. Also, m.checkvist.con is not on that list.

    m.checkvist.com - Checkvist Mobile on your mobile device, save it to the homescreen, log in and sync your lists."

    Hello, do you have this menu item in your Chrome browser?

    No. - Instead of "add to home screen", it says "open checkvist".

    and selecting "open checkvist" switches to my checkvist home page in chrome.

    What a nice move from Google. Which exact version of Google Chrome do you use, what is on the "About" page?

    Hello David Elins, we hope to fix it in the next UI update, sorry for the problem.

    Hello David, I've tried to reproduce the problem, and in my case, Google Chrome shows "Open Checkvist" only when there is already a saved home screen app for the Checkvist. Could you please double check that you don't have such an app already in the list of the app on your phone?

    Also, please try cleaning web-apps data for the Chrome:

    Settings -> Advanced -> Site Settings -> Storage -> m.checkvist.com - Checkvist Mobile -> Clear and Reset

    Settings -> Advanced -> Site Settings -> All sites -> m.checkvist.com -> Clear and Reset

    After that, open m.checkvist.com in the Chrome and see if there is "Add to Home Screen" command in the menu.

    Hope this helps,

    Another thing to try - could you please try opening mmm.checkvist.com - Checkvist Mobile (this is a beta for the mobile m.checkvist.com site) - would it allow adding to the home screen?

    Kirill Maximov
    mmm.checkvist.com - Checkvist Mobile offered the "add to home screen" prompt.
    Have you seen https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/app-install-banners/

    Hello David Elins, yes, I've seen this link. There is a new approach for adding apps to the home screen in new Google Chrome versions, but so far they are available only in the beta versions of the Google Chrome. We're going to leverage this new feature.

    Still, "Add to home screen" explicit command in the browser menu will be preserved, at least according to their documentation.

Any Toggl users here?

Any Toggl users here? I'm putting together an integration so the toggl (Chrome extension) button ( https://github.com/toggl/toggl-button ) is displayed for tasks on a Checkvist list. It's dead simple (a few lines of javascript), but I'm slightly torn on the best way to handle one aspect: whether or not toggl is shown for a particular list. It can't be always-on, as it adds too much clutter for non-projecty lists (who wants a timer button for the carrots on their grocery list?). What I have now is that if any task on a list is tagged #toggl, then all tasks on that list will have the toggl button. A few alternatives I canvassed were: - display toggl buttons only on subtasks of a task tagged with #toggl - display toggl buttons only on focused (hoisted) tasks - find some other way to indicate that all of a list's tasks should have the button, eg. something encoded in the list's name I think what I have now is the most convenient of these (I don't want to hav...
