Clockify is definitely a good solution, I have a larger project for group time tracking that I'm working on called Timestrap https://github.com/overshard/timestrap/ too. The point of Timelite is to not compete with things like this but to be a lightweight quick time tracking solution. It in no way is a Clockify replacement, and if your entire company and development process goes through Clockify then Timelite may be…

I use Clockify for personal stuff. Is Timelite competing with that?

Nope, not in any way. There's a use for larger solutions like Clockify even if it's just personal stuff and not with a group. I just want a small timer with a log sometimes though and that's what Timelite is for. Clockify is a perfectly fine solution for that too if you need it's features.

Cool. I know it can get annoying that people post competing things on Show HN. Congrats on your project.

Just in general, I've had jobs that "owned everything I thought of or created" while working for that company. My currenty employer does that have such an arcane policy which I am thankful for.

You should add a confirmation to the "CLEAR" button. It's too easy to accidentally wipe the whole log. It would also be nice to download the log as CSV -- this can be done with pure JS.

It's especially true when editing a tag. I thought I could cancel the editing by clicking the cross button, instead it deleted the log.
