#4As far as I can tell it measures the number of hours one has spent coding using each language. Does it measure anything else?
I went to the site hoping that it would explain what metrics it is gathering and why those metrics might be useful. It might just be me, but I couldn't find that information.

It also measures the time spent in a git repository. The free version sends you a weekly email with the breakdowns. I've used it for over a year now, really happy with it.
You can also compare yourself to other developers, aka a leaderboard.

For me, it's a tool to track my time i'm spending on which projects.

How do you track time that you spend on the project that is not done inside the editor; for example research?

#10What I'd like to see is a tool that relates commits to bugs and feature which could have a dollar value assigned, therefore making it possible to capture value created in a given day/week/month.
