Crick, a time-tracker dashboard, goes open-source(tailordev.fr) |
A long time ago, we asked our intern to develop a time tracker as a CLI, given that we spend most of our time in the terminal and also to give him something fun to do. He designed a great time tracker that we now use daily: Watson (https://github.com/TailorDev/Watson).
Our business involves billing clients per days (7h a day). Watson was our source of truth but sometimes we needed to aggregate reports of different developers. Crick (https://github.com/TailorDev/crick) to the rescue!
These open source tools were part of a much bigger project that never took off. Watson was open source per se but we thought we could maybe create Crick as a paying-product. We conducted interviews and decided not to do that: nobody really needed such a tool. Well. We needed it so we developed it and decided to open source it.
Edit: I added a Gif on the (GitHub) README too: https://github.com/TailorDev/crick.
(For me) that's a "not going to happen" until after I've seen what it looks like and have some idea whether I'd find it useful. :)
EDIT - There's a quick visual animated gif of it on the GitHub repo README. It would probably be useful to have that (or similar) on the front page of the app.crick.io website too for not-logged-in users. :)
> One thing I haven't been able to figure out is after syncing to Crick, how can I delete a project from there?
We are aware of it, and we do not have a solution yet. We built Crick in a week so we had to cut corners... We focused on the happy path. Things will get better in the future (as we use these tools).
"Any sufficiently complicated time-tracking program contains an ad-hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Org mode."
Can you track time with it?

Best.
