Well done. Any plans for an Android app?

Thanks! Making native apps is a pretty costly thing for a small team like us, and to be honest, we don't have much experience with Android development. So I can't promise anything at the moment, but we'll make sure to keep improving the responsive web. It's definitely on the wish list though.

A product tour/screenshots would be helpful in evaluating what this product has to offer. Having that might increase your signup rates.

Totally agree. We're working on a new promo page at the moment, and it'll show off the actual product (w/screenshots) way better than this one.

The product itself looks really nice, but the pricing model doesn't really seem like a good fit. I think a freemium model would work better than a subscription based one.

Would be useful if you included screenshots without having to sign up.

Agreed. We're working on improving the promo page at the moment, and will make sure we include several screenshots.

Props for not promising that it's "coming soon" -- vaporware sucks.

Thanks – I'm glad you like it!

The pricing model is a discussion in and of itself, but it boils down to us wanting Ding to be as simple and straightforward as possible. If you think the product is worth paying for after 45 free days, you either sign up for the Solo or the Team plan, and that's it. No annoying 'project limits' or anything like that.

There's a lot of theory on this subject matter, but we prefer to stick with what we think is a clean approach. At least for the time being.

I've been a happy subscriber of Toggl for some time now (2+ years). I find Ding's pricing to be higher, and I don't see any integration with other services (like FreshBooks, etc..). I see I can export data, but does anyone know if they plan to integrate with other services?

Just downloaded, it looks great. Great design, really pleasing to use and look at. Lots of small attention to detail that makes it feel nice (eg, calendar picker with large trailing dates into future and past selected month).

One note: I'm interested in just using for time tracking for personal productivity, but it feels more like it's built around use cases for consultants / free lancers (eg, client name being required when creating project). Not sure if my use case is your target, but if it is might be nice to have a global setting to turn off the 'client / freelancing' features so i get something a little more streamlined and limited to better capture how I want to use it. Might diverge from what you're going for, but wanted to pass along how I planned on using.

Agreed, this is really well designed and beautiful. I would love to use that for my personal timekeeping.
