The only changes I'd like to see are: allowing one to log the time work is started (not just the date), a confirmation before deleting data that can't be recovered, and a way to filter the hours charts by day / week / date range.
I have a DevOps consulting company (shameless plug https://elasticbyte.net ) and been on the lookout for a time tracking solution. I've been using AirTable and just adding in hours manually into a table, but it has really been limiting. How is the reporting in Timestrap? Can a run a query like give me the sum of hours for client Acme Inc from March 23rd to April 23rd?

I don't know if I speak for other users, but rather than focusing on invoicing, why not tie into Quickbooks? Or similar services. i.e. There's already invoicing software. If the integration between the timesheets is the only differentiator, why rewrite the invoicing part?
This app fits a use case I had a few years ago. I was travelling and doing odd jobs (WordPress tweaks and the like) and needed something I could use to track time and generate an invoice. QuickBooks & Xero et al were waaay more than I needed or wanted to pay for. I ended up using the free tier of Toggl, doing a CSV export and generating a butt-ugly invoice from Excel. If this tool were available, I'd have used it.
Invoicing in Bonsai is also free and pretty nice, especially if using other parts of their service.
I'm also currently exploring the invoice integration in Wave.
Both of these are free.
This is super nice and much simpler than all of the other software I've been using to cobble together work logging + time tracking + invoicing this past year. After trying Toggl, Harvest, and everything else I totally understand why you built it.

Confirmation is a must, mistakes happen!
Filters/reporting is coming over the next week, also a must, what's the point of time tracking if you can't compile reports of your time.
Are there people interested in following the development of this app? What's the best way to "watch" a project like this come together? I see some great suggestions in the comments, I thought the idea of automating the screenshots that go into the documentation was kind of interesting. The idea that it's cost effective to automate something like that, and further the idea that if the UI changed the documentation woul…

It has the ability to do this at the API level but not on the interface yet. All the reporting functionality is coming over the course of the next week since that's pretty critical to time tracking.
Would it really hurt to include a screenshot of what it's like to use? Sorry for the grouchy comment but we're all busy people, there has to be a modicum of convincing on a programmers part to encourage us to divert us attention to their project.
Full functioning demo seems more than sufficient.

Right on. You going to charge (hosted solution)? I'd like to support you.

The time work is started is something I'm debating with myself on. I think I will add start + end date + time since it would help with making a timer persistent across pages/connection issues.

Not sure if you intend to turn it into a business but with a little polish and the features you described it's simpler / better than several competing paid products on the market today (as you probably noticed).
