Love the callout to the Chosen.js library...one of those fantastic plug-and-play interface libraries that makes it so less painful to add a nearly essential feature to forms/data-selection. edit: Added clickable link to chosen.js homepage http://harvesthq.github.io/chosen/

I was thinking, that looks just like Select2 which I've used a few times and seems it's a more actively developed plugin, inspired by Chosen. Differences discussed here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13575531/what-are-the-di...

Self-plug: our Zhen HRM system includes timesheets / time tracking in addition to vacations, reports, etc. Time tracking can be done through clicking Start / Stop when you are working on projects.

Time tracking is one of those things that I see constantly being reinvented. Whether it's spreadsheets that get emailed, completely custom solutions, or one of the numerous services available, few of them actually provide anything new. What I want is a product that tracks my time for me. WakaTime is probably the closest I've seen. If only it worked outside of my text editor and automatically submitted my timesheets f…

We looked at doing things like logging git commit frequency to try and provide realistic estimates to users of their time that they could then confirm or alter. Realistically, with the diversity of talent we have here (both technical and non-technical) and the time it would take to do well, it didn't really seem too practical. It would be awesome if WakaTime and others provided some way of interfacing with an API, so…
