Why no billing system? That must be the #1 requested feature? At least that was my understanding (missing feature) from what I could find on the web page. Other than that, simply great site and app.

Hey,

Being a tiny, tiny company that is bootstrapping, I'm just spreading the word anyway I can.

I'll delete it immediately if that is not allowed. I'm truly sorry if that is against the rules.

EDIT: Dammit, I obviously hadn't read the rules well enough. Just deleted both tweets!

It's a highly-requested feature, but we really want to focus on the scheduling and time tracking part of the task, and make that as best as it can possibly be. We're going to stay away from invoicing, but encourage anyone to integrate it via our API.

Fuck, I'm so sorry about that! I obviously hadn't read the rules carefully enough. Deleted both tweets.

In case you didn't know, there's an alarm clock app for Android also named Timely. Interestingly, it has a similar method of doing time selection as your app - touch and drag to select the time on a line.

Here's a link to the Android app's author's website: http://www.bitspin.ch/

Thanks for sharing, I'm aware of those guys. They launched long after we launched v1 of Timely, but got a ton of press when they got bought by Google.
