All in all its a great introduction to the service, really well put together.

Congrats on the launch! This looks great! I started with something similar but targeted more toward time tracking in organizations - https://github.com/prakhar1989/timelogger

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.

Right now it looks like $10 or $25 a month for a stop watch app. If I was a customer this one would have scared me away. I'm on my phone if that makes a difference.

Just signed up. Looks nice. But kind of creepy that I had a profile pic on the site without having to upload one.

Gravatar maybe?

Yes. Thanks. Completely forgot about that.

This looks really fantastic. I love the design and after spending a few minutes reading your blog it seems like you care a great deal about every decision you make.

Good job! I like the interfaces. Haven't found option for piece-rate projects though. Do you have any plans on the matter ? Another guess: I think some API features would be extremely useful for such a service.

The UI is nice, but I think nothing beats automation. I use RescueTime [1], which is surprisingly _accurate_ measuring my time. I use it for years now and I'm very satisfied with it. No need for "administrative overhead".

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 requi…

I am using timecamp and it is sufficient.
