Checkvist Improvements / archived / read-only

 
  • GUI Improvements
    • Home Screen
      • Can't keyboard navigate the checklist list?
    • Keyboard Help
      • Group by action
      • Mouseover tips
        • It would be nice if there were keyboard command tooltips related to anything that you would use a mouse for. Then there would actually be an easier process of learning what things you could be doing better?
          • i.e., even for a basic a thing as entry. it took experimentation to find option or shift-enter lets you enter line breaks in the text box. also, i haven't quite figured out why sometimes i can savewithout creating another item and sometimes it does (either way it requires an extra enter or escape if it does the wrong thing)
      • Webapps w/ good (better) help popups
        • Github
        • GMail
        • Twitter
        • Todoist
      • '?' for keyboard help (a callout on top right so peopl can see this?)
      • / should be search
        • overall there are some standard keys that aren't used that are replaced w/ non-standard more keys (ff is nice and all but / is used everywhere and isn't used at all in checkvist?)
    • Hot Keys
      • Due Date: Assigning common dates, navigating from today, etc
      • Tags
        • Well, there's 'tt' I guess I'll need to be a bit more specific about what's bothering me here.
    • Checklist View (Main List, Move to List)
      • Keyboard Shortcuts (cmd 1-10)
        • This is somewhat mollified/conflicting w/ type ahead find, but would be perfect if it was linked to an accelerator key. think about how launchers (quicksilver, alfred) and clipboard managers (like clipmenu) work
    • Better Reordering
      • Keyboard - shift j/k etc (any move but w/ shift held down)
        • or ctrl if that's going to be the standard modifier key for list manipulation
      • Drag Handle on the very right
    • Better ways of focus
      • Navigate to next in level?
        • See ec: http://checkvist.tumblr.com/post/1552788417/expand-list-options-and-a-handful-of-fixes
      • Hide everything but this group?
    • Find
      • Find Tags
        • fn-enter to search All
        • ESC should close the Filter window?
    • Full Text Search / Filtering; does it exist?
  • Problems
    • Can't Create an item at top of list? Exacerbates lack of keyboard reordering...
      • This can be done by hitting Escape (defocuses items) and then Enter
  • RFE
    • List Categories/Folders
      • For managing and scoping large number of lists, especially in the main view
    • Modified By
      • For shared Lists, sd tracks original creation, but not edits, a tree or some way to see new stuff would be nice
      • Secondary view w/ new edits/changes?
        • This is especially important for shared lists, ie if someone is "assigning" you tasks (tagging you or something). It'd be nice to see things based on when they were changed
      • Are edits/versions stored? I assume at least when something is checked off is stored, but it occured to me that might not be the case at all...
    • Local Version
      • Should this really be HTML5 App w/ Local Cache of everything?
        • Maybe it should work standalone and simply sync w/ the server.
    • Mobile Version
      • Handling touch events
      • Hard to remap all KB functions...
      • Need
        • Search
        • Entry
      • Could be HTML5, use SQLite3 FTS, etc
    • Views
      • Current minimal, + more info for the specific task? Easier way to expand all (x?) (vs sd that shows for everything)
      • One thing that's nice about workflowy is the "zoom" - rather than just expansion, it actually lets you focus within a scope, which is good for removing distractions
    • Half Baked
      • Due Time
      • Remind me later
        • Rubby Ducky
      • Effort Tracking / Estimates
        • Simple timer, logging
      • Geo-located events
      • Repeating Tasks
    • Desktop Integration
      • Alfred+API?
        • http://checkvist.com/auth/api
    • Guest Pass / Token-based Permissions
      • It would be nice to share lists w/ a secret URL. If accessed w/ this URL/token, should be either viewable or editable by anyone. This would be especially useful for embedding purposes (ie in a corporate intranet)
  • Compare
    • Todoist
    • Toodledo
    • Workflowy
  • Learned
    • cmd-1, 1 for colors, cool
    • I use this icon for my Fluid SSB App:
      • http://cdn.appappeal.com/pictures/6835/logo.png
  • Adoption Hurdles
    • Sharing
      • Suitability for multi-user task handling somewhat limited without a better way of tracking who assigned what (to whom can be a tag, although automatically colored tag assignments or actually parsing people out would be useful, ie #email and a UI layer a la dates?)
      • Being able to track/changelog/view history - having an at a glance view at what's changed since a certain time, what's been changed by others.
    • Mobile
      • One of our coworkers uses Toodledo for her personal use. She can't imagine not having a mobile version. I can't really blame her for that, especially as she's checking of things on the move all the time. Checkvist's current mobile UI doesn't cut it (interaction-wise, feature-wise, lack of network independence - iPhone on AT&T in LA)

  • The email body becomes the list item's note.
  • All attachments from the email are attached to the list item (PRO only).
