I've been a paying user of Checkvist for years. It's a a pleasing rarity in the contemporary web software world - a simple useful and reliable keyboard-driven tool with little hype and no world-conquering aspirations. It improves year on year, but at no great velocity. It seems to be entirely the property of a team of 2 who are personally responsive at their user forum (https://discuss.checkvist.com/). I supposed one could call it 'artisanal', but it was that before the term came into regrettable fashion.

As a Checkvist user, too, I'm really happy whenever I see it mentioned. It deserves a lot of credit for all the things it does right, keyboard shortcuts especially.
Yes me too. The developers have done a great job of keeping it focused. It being a side project probably makes that easier (no wolf at the door pestering them to make it more profitable).

FWIW if you're interested I have a little commandline capture tool for pinging items onto the top of a default Checvkvist list: https://github.com/crispinb/cvcap. I find it useful when I'm in the terminal and think of something I need to note. It's unpolished but functional.
