I really like that more and more developers are doing the open-source/paid service option(no idea what's the term for it). I personally think it's great for both developers and their customers/users.

Typo on the front page under pricing: GLPv3 vs GPLv3

Have we hugged it to death already or is it something else?

Open source SAAS: OSSAAS?

What I really care about is the time it takes to input tasks. The demo app link has a record button with a difficult to use form. Is there a faster way to start/stop the timer?

I did build a web extension automatically asking you for what you are currently working on. Not open source, but you might find it handy: https://byrly.com/waywo/

Thanks for this tool! However I think the UI is not really ready yet. I would love some transitions on the popup elements, as well as a keyboard control over the forms :)

Since I couldn't find any tool that did the job for me, I ended up creating a very simple (open source) timetracking tool that suited my needs: https://gist.github.com/corentinbettiol/634b6f95928ccb702ac7...

(pros: not in a browser, start when you start your work computer, can sort content with grep, can count hours of work on a task with grep + wc -l, cons: no fancy ui, fixed delay)

Hi, I'm the author of TimeTagger. Thanks for your feedback. Right now you can click the record button and since a description is optional, click start right away.

Could you please elaborate how you would want this to be faster? A one click option, or perhaps a keyboard shortcut to start a timer? I'm eager to learn about potential workflows to make the experience more smooth :)
