Server is down for me.
Same. I hope I'll remember to check in later to the demo in action.
I was fortunate enough to play with the demo before things went down. 10/10; would demo again.
I, too, hope you remember to check back :-)

#32Looks great! I noticed the website uses Foundation while the actual app uses Bootstrap. Any reason? Having used both, do you prefer one or the other?
Thank! I use both fairly often. I have a strong preference for Foundation, but bootstrap has a lot more components, which is useful when I'm building web apps. Foundation is great for websites.
> bootstrap has a lot more components
What are your thoughts on Bootstrap vs Gumby Framework (http://gumbyframework.com/)?

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yes, you need to keep the task open for the timer to continue to run. You would want it to keep running in the background? It seems like it would be easy to forget about if it's implemented that way...
Yeah. That why I use TaskCoach (desktop app) so the timer icon is always shown in my notification area. But you can use the dashboard for this. A year back I had started building a web based time tracker using HTML5 background workers and stuff. But I lost motivation. :(
Why not just have a start/stop toggle and record time segments so you don't have to worry about a "running" timer?

I definitely shall be, since I'm after something to replace Basecamp after my trial expired.

#38Saw this on reddit a few days ago. You could make a lot more money with it by making it a hosted solution and charging monthly/yearly.

#39There's already at least one "beautiful self-hosted Basecamp alternative" out there: Collabtive ...and it's free (FOSS).
Beauty is subjective.

#40Beautiful product! Just be aware of the support nightmare that comes along with people trying to install your software in many different environments. I will never, ever create installable software ever again.
