Workflowy tasks counted twice from different machines

[JMTyler]

I've noticed that the HabitRPG extension will retroactively count completions from Workflowy when I open its tab, even if it wasn't there when I actually completed the item. I think this is a great feature, mainly because I have a Workflowy chrome extension as well (which HabitRPG doesn't pick up on, as I would expect), so it's nice that I can complete tasks there quickly but still open a tab once a day to have HabitRPG take notice.

However, it doesn't work well with multiple computers. If I complete a Workflowy task from one computer, then HabitRPG will give me XP for it... but then as soon as I open the tab on my second computer, HabitRPG gives me XP again.

I understand that this might be a time-consuming thing to fix, since you're probably just watching for changes right now, and to fix it you'd have to actually record Workflowy's item IDs (assuming that's even available to you...) so I want to be clear that it's not a big deal. Just wanted to make you aware of it.

Cheers, and I hope eventually I might have some time to contribute to this too!

Great idea, and lots of other things I personally want to add around Workflowy (eg, I delete tasks when I'm done - not check them off, so I want points for deletion). But heads up - nobody's currently working on the Chrome Extension unfortunately. We're looking for maintainers. We'll probably be able to jump back in in the future (maybe 3-4 months).

Hey, thanks for the heads up! All the more reason for me to scrounge up some time in the near future to contribute ;-)

Yes please! :)
