This looks cool but I'd like filetype-independent definitions. For example, to convert a ruby dictionary pasted into a .js file.

I'd add some good use-cases for this. They're outlined in the screenshot and the blurb next to it, but a couple paragraphs below the fold going over your workflow would provide a more illustrative example.

This is really cool. I'm currently bootstrapping my own startup and have tried to find tutoring work on the side to boost my income. It's been tough to find clients though, and navigating Craigslist and Kijiji is a pain. How do you intend t

The design of Lift is gorgeous. Congrats on creating such a beautiful app.

Great idea, I'll rework the copy to that effect.

Changing the font to something more professional is at the top of my list. I made a conscious decision to give the app an informal feel but I agree that that was mistake. I'll also fix up the examples and look into a more efficient page lay

Web interface is definitely something I'll get to if the app gets enough traction. I considered adding Pomodoro time, but opted not to for the launch to keep things simple. I may make it an extra down the road. Thanks for the feedback!

Awesome, hope the app helps you out. Let me know if you have anything you'd like to see in the app!

by ktusznio 14y ago
Very interesting idea, I hadn't thought about that too much! Would definitely be fun to build. :)

by ktusznio 14y ago
Good point. I think that has a lot of merit. I'll work on changing the font. For some reason it has a special place in my heart, though.

Moved the Features and Demo sections above the Mission. :)

Awesome, thank you.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I added the Mission bit to drive some social behaviour for the launch. I definitely agree that it detracts from marketing the app's features. I'll work on making it less prominent!

Not currently but if there is interest I definitely will. I've had a number of requests for now so you're not alone.

by ktusznio 14y ago
This was actually a conscious decision. I did it to give the app an informal feel. Basically to distinguish it from the super-serious professional time tracking apps that are overloaded with features. I could have been wrong though because

Thanks for the kind comment. :)

I've tried to make that process as minimal and streamlined as possible. I tried to make getting started with the app as painless as I could!

by ktusznio 14y ago
Awesome, thank you :)

by ktusznio 14y ago
That's sort of the idea. The main selling point is to find out where your time is actually going. If that's not interesting to you then yeah, the app doesn't make much sense. For myself, that's something I wanted to know so I built this. Wh

Quick pitch: It's a time tracker with a robust goal-setting system that allows you to set up 'at most' and 'at least' goals. Spending too much time in your inbox? Set up a 'Do at most 1 hour going through email' goal. Want to work more on y

From what I gather, it's supposed to feel more intimate and personal than the generic feel you have when using an SMS/MMS client.

Just because Timeline shows fewer ads doesn't mean that net ad revenue doesn't come out ahead. Sponsored stories just need to make up for those 3 missing ads, which they almost surely will. Optimizing for user engagement, when you make mone

This is a joke, right? The design of Apple products make almost no effort to aid proper/effective ergonomic use. Good luck using an iPad or MacBook without destroying your neck/upper back.

What is the purpose of the "quote" parameter? The only place it is in the code is here: else if(x[0] == 'quote'){ return x[1]; So why not just skip that extra verbosity? What am I missing?
