bulleting for tasks with no subtasks
I'd like to revitalize a declined suggestion:
Put a hollow triangle to the left of a task with no subtasks.
That way, the left sides of all tasks at the same level line up perfectly, and you get a much tidier outline. The eye sees the nesting structure more easily.
It's not a decorative feature; absolutely not:
-If you have (sub)tasks on the list with all having subtasks: it's looking tidy (all tasks have solid triangles), you can easily distinguish vetween the (sub)tasks.
-But in the case of mixed (sub)tasks (both having and not having subtasks): the tasks at the same level are different (with or without triangles), and two tasks without subtasks are hard to ditinguish.
And in an ordinary outline-text (indented, hierarchical text) there is leading bullet in every item (not just the items having sub-items).

Hello! We've added bullets to the list options menu ('oo' keyboard shortcut). Currently it's only on the Beta server (http://beta.checkvist.com, same data, same credentials). Would be glad to hear how do you find it.

I would really like to see this feature added as well. I have a bunch of multi-line tasks and it would be a whole lot easier to visually set them apart if each one had its own bullet.

That's why I love your service. Because of the simple UI, because there are no unneccessary spangly stuff. (but I think a hollow triangle would not be like that)

Well, generally we're just less willing to add something to the UI than to remove :)

Thx!
I think it was a misunderstanding in the declined suggestion's refusal.

OK, let us play with it and see how it goes...
