use contentEditable instead of a textarea for editing things
The fact that checkvist uses textareas for editing items inevitably leads to the layout getting messed up and ugly transitions between starting to edit and editing and between finishing editing and being able to continue usage. Please use contentEditable fields instead, so that browsing and editing become seamless. http://html5demos.com/contenteditable

Thanks for the suggestion, but the matter is that when editing, the content differs from the visible text (we use some smart syntax for the text, and allow HTML formatting). So the implementation of this approach isn't trivial.
But I agree, that if I'd start writing Checkvist these days, I'd try using it :)

Naturally, fall back to textarea where contentEditable is not available.
