I relaunched my app thanks to one Reddit message Post Covid - back in 2023 - when my company went full time remote, I wanted to track the number of hours I worked everyday. Having worked full time in office before, the guilt of not spending enough hours bothered me. After looking for simple time tracking solutions, I failed to find a decent one that wasn't bloated with bells and whistles. So, I built one over the weekend, bought the domain and used it for a few weeks. I also showcased here "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38857075" and in one of the productivity subreddits on Reddit. Eventually, I stopped using it and the domain expired after a year. Totally forgot about it. 2 weeks ago, out of nowhere, a user on Reddit messaged me this: "Hey, dude, hope you're doing well. Just wanted to say TMG was absolutely amazing but I was sad to see it no longer works. Any plans to bring it back? Cheers" I was surprised that at least one other person was actively using it, and was impacted by its shutdown. I quickly opened my laptop, and purchased the domain again on "Friday 22nd of August 2025" to be precise. I reinstated the simple utility tool, and then for past few days, polished it, add few more features and here I am now, writing about it. I don't know if something will happen to it, but I promise to keep it running for a long long time. The Reddit user hasn't responded to my reply yet, I hope he does some day, and will be happy that its back online. Here is the link to the time tracking tool https://www.timemygrind.com if you are curious. |
