It looks nice. I'm a user of freckle for some time so I recognize quite a lot of the UI and features. Even if I don't use all features of freckle, some are quite useful. As an example in freckle I use tags and the API to automatically export all entries every month/week updates the client through email reports or google sheet updates. It doesn't look like that would be possible with ding.io yet (exkluding the manual csv download)? Also the dashboard display priority seems a little off. Money earned gets most space however is never the truth because of taxes, expenses etc. I rather use my accounting software for seeing my actual earnings. Time logged is OK however Active projects for me isn't really necessary information. The activity stream and log time form should be of highest priority. Put the activity stream in focus with better one-click-filtering on clients/project/tags(?) would be great to quickly answer the clients questions on what I did. :-) In summary I think the design is great and looking at features I think when comparing with freckle, which is relevant in my case, I feel like half the price equals half the functions. Nothing wrong with that and your product will of course mature with time. I'll keep an eye on it. Great job!

Thanks for the kind words and thorough feedback! You can export to both CSV and PDF. So you can still get reports for your clients, although you'll have to do it manually. We have a pretty limited API right now, built mostly to support our iOS app. As the API grows you should be able to get the reports from it. Money earned let's you see how much you can bill in a given period, so you can quickly see if you're reaching your goal. We think it's useful despite not accounting for taxes and expenses, and it's a nice moral boost to see the money coming in. You can filter on projects, clients, date etc. on the Overview page. It's really fast to get filter out exactly the data you need.
