Show HN: Web Timer, a Chrome extension to keep track of how you use the Web
- zerostar07 15y agoGreat Idea! So how does it count time? time spent on a tab? What if you have multiple windows open? In any case, I expect more threads tomorrow with optimal web time management strategies.
- dskang 15y agoThanks! It counts time by looking at the URL on the active tab every three seconds. Even if you have multiple windows open, it only counts time for the active tab. And if there is no active tab (i.e. Chrome does not have focus), then it doesn't count time at all.
- stravid 15y agoThank you very much! I love the fact that the code is on GitHub. Do you plan adding features or should I make a fork for things like: # hours browsed per day history Anyway, thanks again!
- dskang 15y agoNo problem. I'm currently busy with another project, but if you do add additional functionality, submit a pull request! I'd love to see what people come up with.
- nathanpc 15y agoAwesome work, congratulations! I'll definitely going to test this out. :) After I try it for a week I'll make a fork on GitHub and try to help improve it.
- dskang 15y agoGreat! Looking forward to seeing your improvements!

- fridek 15y agoYou should consider adding badges. For example: wasted 4+ hours on 9gag/facebook in one day.
- denzil_correa 15y agoYou can also add a way to share these badges with your buddies across Facebook, Twitter etc. It would be cool.
