App is really vibe coded
Focus on hold to action gestures.
Current design is too generic and doesn’t work for this kind of app (generic means Claude frontend-skill uses this type of design every time it prompted)
Add widgets.
It okay to add pro features for an open source eco-system but actually make it worth it (ex: live dictation with an ai that creates all the decks and items automatically) not just an alarm feature which I can easily go without
Response from developer
Thanks for the direct feedback. The long-press actions and parts of the interface need more deliberate work. Widgets are already available from the iOS widget gallery, including a free small widget, so I need to make them easier to find. Pro also includes Quick Capture, repeat templates, Focus sessions, extra accounts, reminders, and larger widgets. I hear your point that its value must be clearer and stronger. The AI dictation idea is useful, but I will not promise it before it is ready.
Great so far!
I’m also happy to see that the core functionality remains intact and isn’t behind a premium subscription. Hoping it stays that way 🤞

Thanks for sticking with Deckloud! Markdown rendering in card descriptions (including checklists) is back as of version 1.3.5, released June 8 — your review likely landed a day before the update. Update the app and your checklists should render again. If anything still looks off, please report it at github.com/hweihwang/nextcloud-deck-desktop-releases/issues and we'll fix it fast.
Promising 😎

Dark mode needs tweaking
Response from developer
Thanks for the detailed review! The dark-mode contrast issues you describe are on our fix list — 1.3.5 already hardened several card-detail and board-header layouts, and remaining dark-mode text bugs are being tracked. If you spot a specific screen where text disappears, a screenshot at github.com/hweihwang/nextcloud-deck-desktop-releases/issues helps us nail it.
No widget, nice app
Response from developer
Thanks for calling this out. Widgets are now live: refresh widget data in Settings > Widgets & Shortcuts, then add Deckloud Home or Lock Screen widgets in iOS. Free widgets show counts; Pro unlocks card titles, due times, and deep links.
