Wow - literally just saw an article about RescueTime on the frontpage of NYT (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/05/your-money/where-does-the...). And installed it 5 minutes ago. Coincidence, if I've ever seen one... RIP.

#13I was not aware of RescueTime or Joe until I read this.
Now I know what it is, it looks like a very good fit for me. Horrid circumstances for me to find out about it, and I don't know what else to say about this.
Family, friends, colleagues: I am sorry for your loss.

#14My sincere condolences to the whole RescueTime team. I read about this for the first time here, today. I mentioned it to my wife - we met some of the RT team a long time ago and then lost touch. Her first reaction was total shock and then "omg, Joe was such a nice guy." That's the impression Joe left both of us with. I'm sure his passing has left a huge hole in many people's hearts.

#15I recently reinstalled RescueTime as I wanted to better track my productivity since I am studying deep learning and soon doing the Udacity self-driving car engineer nanodegree.
My condolences to the RescueTime team and Joe's family. Beyond the grave I would like to sincerely thank him for the awesome product he has built.

#16Even though I never knew Joe, it's sad to hear of his passing. RescueTime is one of the most eye-opening products I've ever used, and has improved my life considerably the last few years.

#18Awesome vision, product and person. I started using RescueTime back in '09 and it has helped me immensely over the years. I would say incalculably but I can actually calculate the impact quite well. :)
RIP and best to his family, friends and team.
