Any reason why you chose fastspring instead of stripe for payment processing ?
I read many good reviews of Fastspring on HN, they also has CocoaFob integration. Plus I prefer older services to new ones doing the same thing.

#233If you're a consultant or you work in a consulting firm I have some advice for you. Get comfortable with fudging the numbers on your time reports. It's ok. Report what's reasonable given: You aren't being paid for your minutes you're being paid for the ability to solve a customer's problem in minutes. I bill my clients 40 no matter what because sometimes I give them 100 hours worth of value in 1 hour. It all balances…
For anyone reading this, billing the incorrect amount of time in consulting is an integrity violation, and probably illegal. If you agree to sell in hours, then the client pays in hours. Attributed value billing should be in your contract if you are going to do that, not snuck in under the guise of hourly rates.
Do you bill your clients for the time you sip coffee or take a shit?

Re: Show HN: Automatic private time tracking for OS X
#236I was not happy with features and UX of other productivity trackers. Most of the time tracking software is made for controlling employees or for billing clients and I just wanted an automated productivity measurement. I tried RescueTime before but it was too expensive for its functionality ($72-108/year) and also collected all my tracked data on their servers. There is standalone ManicTime on Windows but OS X standal…
Do you have a timeline for Firefox site tracking? I'd definitely buy this to replace RescueTime if it supported Firefox
I used desktime and they seem to provide an extension for urls, couldn't you do something similar?

Probably. We just need to release some other features and fixes first.

Not yet, but it's on the roadmap with a very high priority.

I hope I can convince Firefox team to report page URLs to OS X accessibility. Or maybe I will try to commit it myself.
Timingapp.com is able to track Firefox urls somehow.
