Thanks for pointing that out! I appreciate the keen eye. 1. The discount is indeed wrong, I've adjusted the pricing a bit. 2. I apologize for the confusion — I actually meant early Autumn, not Spring. So the launch is much sooner than you thought! I hope this clears things up, and thanks for your interest! I’ll keep you updated on our progress.

I love the responsiveness and communication -- I'm preordering now!

Thank you so much for your kind words and support! Your feedback already was incredibly helpful.

grear work, two questions: 1. what UI framework do you use, since I see Windows support is already announced? 2. if I pay for an early bird license, would that work with the Windows version later on as well?

Thank you! I’m glad you like it. For the UI framework, I’m using Tauri, which allows for cross-platform support and a smooth user experience. Yes, if you pay for an early bird license, it will also work with the Windows version once it’s released, licence isnt linked to a OS, rather to an account, which can also be unlinked in the future.

Hey. Well done on launch. Looks very sleek. So the frontend is some sort of JS/CSS app. How did you get it so native looking? What UI libs are you using, or just tailwind classes?

> $179 Ballsy... unless you mean to make that deep discount permanent, which is a can of worms of its own.

Thanks for your feedback! The final price isn’t set in stone yet. My goal is to make Taim accessible and affordable for individuals. The current discount is a special offer for early supporters, and I’m still considering the best pricing structure to ensure everyone gets great value. I appreciate your thoughts and am always open to more feedback!

better time tracking is sorely needed! If I never see the SAP Concur UI again in my life, it still won't be enough. Quick bit of copy-editing: You probably want to say "Forgetting to start a timer is an issue *of* the past"

I hear you, better time tracking is definitely overdue! Thanks for the copy-editing tip.

Going to post this here as it's too small to deserve a top level comment, but I have a copy-edit tip too: at the bottom near the pricing, "be sure to checkout our roadmap", "checkout" should be "check out".

It seems like this is macOS only? It's not really explicitly spelt out - you just have to work it out through context clues (screenshots showing macOS borders, "macOS Ventura is 'recommended'").

I can definitely see someone not realizing before getting to the payment page - probably needs to be an explicit list of supported OSes somewhere.

Edit: just noticed the expandable 'what platforms does Taim support' at the bottom. That should be bigger, and not buried with the rest of the FAQ stuff imho.

Hey, thanks for the kind words! I’m glad you like the design. It’s a mix of Tailwind CSS and Tauri to achieve that "native" look. Using Tauri helps me access some OS features to create effects like the “glass/translucent effect” If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

Looks awesome! I do wonder will there be Linux support in the future?

Thanks for the compliment! Right now, I'm focused on launching Taim for macOS and then Windows. Linux support is something I’m considering for the future, but it’s not a definite plan yet. I’ll keep you updated as things progress. Appreciate your interest!

Thanks for pointing that out! You’re right I should make the supported platforms more explicit. Currently working on macOS side of Taim, but I'm planning to add Windows support next. I’ll make sure to highlight this information more clearly on the site. Appreciate your feedback and thanks for helping us improve!

Thanks. I am about to start an app using Tauri, and styling the UI so it doesn't feel like a "web app" is a concern of mine
