It would be really helpful if checkvist could respect unicode RTL while editing a task. Some of my tasks are in Hebrew, which is a right-to-left language. This can make things awkward when editing tasks or notes that have mixed RTL and LTR text or numbers and symbols. What I'd like is the following behavior: * When entering edit mode in either single line or multiline tasks, the text direction should change from ltr to rtl ("direction" property in CSS) and align to the right. Usually, I believe, the proper direction is detected based on either explicit direction symbols in unicode or the directionality of the first non-numeric non-symbolic letter character.) * When not in edit mode, the text should continue to align left on the outline by default, but it should still appear in the correct directionality. * There should be an option to change the direction of an outline manually. Some lists are purely in Hebrew. I did a small experiment and manually changed the direction o...

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.

Are there any plans to add support for time?

Are there any plans to add support for time? The issue is that most tasks don't need a specific time so the current mechanism is great, but there are tasks that have to occur at a specific time. This is especially important for daily repeating tasks, but there are other cases as well. For example, if I need to call someone in two days at 11:00, it would be great to get the reminder/notification at the right time.
