Thank you for saying so. It's really the motivation for having done this full rewrite.

Oh thanks! Will do that now.

We've decided to launch this version to new users since it's so much different than the old version. We definitely support upgrading, though, just know it's quite different. If you want to migrate, you can go here: http:&#x2

Fair. Apologies, that wasn't my intention. We're going to do better with this version to prevent that kind of abuse. It's a complete 180 from the analytics tool that enabled that in the past. I'd go as far as to say that

Thanks so much!

We definitely support that! You can set any number of flexible work zones during your day, and it'll even send you an alert if you work too long in a zone you said you wanted for recharge time. :)

Thanks for the reply - I feel the same way. I'd go as far as to say that if someone forced it on you we'd want to know so we could disable the account. That's not something we want to support at all. This is designed to help

Totally understand. The online component makes it challenging for a lot of folks. Fortunately this new version requires less in the way of constant online support, and we're definitely considering developing an offline-only version of

Wow, I'm really sorry to hear that. We absolutely don't support that use case, and especially with this version, it's pretty hard to measure with that kind of exactness in a way that could be used for that kind of abuse. Hone

We're totally aware of this and although we've tried our best in the past to avoid this scenario with the privacy of individuals in mind, it was unfortunate that bosses made their employees do this. This version is much harder to

Thank you all for such a great showing in these comments. It really cements what kind of person Joe was, and how much he meant to us at RescueTime.

Thinking as a founder/hacker - it's totally fine. Fixing those errors would have no effect on the user experience. There are no viewers that aren't using the site because of those errors. Fixing them would take time that can

So is baby formula not food?

by bfioca 13y ago
it's not a "diet" it's a food (see this: http://robrhinehart.com/?p=507 ) Also humans had been living in caves and stick houses for 100+k years but now most of us have improved on those inventions.

Yeah, I admit, the carfax analogy is not the best one. We don't really use it anywhere on our site - mostly because it's not really accurate. Your wording is much better and truer to what we're building. Can I use it? :)

In fact, the opposite is true. Every single employer we talked to wanted their concerns address that they would be perceived as invading people's privacy by having them introduced through us. In the end, employers are recruiting you. If you

Yipes, agreed! That's a pretty long way from what we're doing though, thankfully.

Totally understand your concern here. I can assure you recruiters will never see the data you don't show them yourself. It's part of our core values for this project. Hell, I wouldn't want to show recruiters my data without removing some th

Hey guys, I just wanted to say that we really did consider the HN crowd when we made this. PG and I had a conversation where it became clear that the core of this project needs to be don't offend HN. Check out the bottom of this page: http

I wrote this in a comment on our blog, but I'll copy it here too: If you find yourself thinking, “Thank you, Buzz Killington,” let me just add that the average time our most productive users spend on work related tasks per day is 3 hours(!)

It makes me wonder what kinds of underserved markets there might be for apps for women, because "gals hate to do X." Wait, that probably wouldn't go over very well. :)

It's not easy to game in that a lot of the data relies on proportionate comparisons (i.e. time spent in .py files vs. time spent in .java files or on IM). Not only that, but there'll be a level of human interaction involved. If we were goin
