Task weight
One of the things I was looking for when I started using Checkvist is a simple but working progress bar. I think one of the few things lacking is a way to assign more or less weight to each task.
There are many ways to implement this, I am sure, but a simple one would be having 3 levels of priority:
high(x2) - normal (x1) - low (x0.5)
If you have one High priority task and two Normal tasks and you complete the high priority one, then the task bar would move to 50% done, nor 33%.

This is an interesting idea, though an unusual one. I haven't met even a full-featured issue tracker which would assign task weights based on priority. Usually the progress is always calculated with the weight 1. In Checkvist, we now have 6 levels of priorities, so weighting them would be far from obvious for people. Make it an optional feature? May be, but I don't think it will be popular enough anytime soon.
Anyway, thanks for sharing :)
