WakaTime offers business/enterprise licensing, where self-improvement/introspection suddenly looks exactly like corporate task management, employee surveillance, and performance metrics. So, "leaderboard" (fun!) becomes "stack-ranking" (vicious!). How do you see Wakana positioned and used, in practice? * Will it be used by the individual for self-improvement and time management? * Will metrics-crazed companies use it…

The Docker instructions at https://github.com/jemiluv8/wakana point to using this image: ghcr.io/muety/wakapi:latest Seems that "muety/wakapi" is the source project from which this one was forked, so, is that Docker image just an artifact of forking the README and forgetting to update it?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This is embarrassing. At the time I was making the post, HN kept rejecting it and the title became shorter and shorter with every try. I am trying to edit the title now without much success. Thanks for the suggestion. It would’ve helped people know what it was about better than the current title

The missing title happens to be quite effective click bait, so I would keep it :)
