I agree with you, my only point is that accessibility costs something. It either costs time and money if you want to adhere to some standard like WCAG, it costs in hiring a better designer who doesn't make inaccessible design choices a

Adhering to HTML spec does not by default make a fully accessible website. White text on a white background adheres to the spec but no one can see it. If you mean adhereing to something like WCAG then that is a premium since it requires thi

I tried this at one point and my competitors just excluded accessibility entirely and won the "bidding wars". This is not a solution.

As a contract developer who provides estimates on my work I always include a section for ADA compliance, WCAG compliance, Accessibility, and a few others. I provide time estimates and explain to my clients that I consider these extremely im

I'm not sure software clutter describes this either but I understand what you are trying to say. I think of software rot more as code that hasn't been touched by anyone in years and now it no longer works due to it's environm

I can't tell if this is a joke or not. Immediately upon landing on the page I get hit with a Sign Up/Sign In modal that I close then another modal for Stay Up-to-date that I have to close then the whole thing stops loading and giv

The point of Disqus is that you don't have to host anything and you can publish an essentially "static" website using any static website generator or just plain HTML pages you make yourself. At this point just build your webs

I'm in a similar situation, I got a One Plus Onyx since I heard so much about how One Plus supports and updates their products and I haven't had an update in over a year. It's probably time to install LineageOS...

I can't agree more with you, I recently started a huge open source project and the choice of front-end framework was changed about halfway through. The issue was never learning and working with the front-end framework even with a chang

Clickbait title aside, use whatever language will make you and your team most productive to launch your product, if you run into issues once you hit it big concern yourself with "web-scale" then. In 15 years of coding I've ru

This is pretty cool for a basic preview but it really doesn't solve the bigger issue of devices handling basic CSS inconsistently in many situations. Example is sizing things using "vh" and "vw". On iOS this has bee

I'll definitely keep this in mind while improving the export part of Timestrap. All of this would be easy to add via a couple extra fields on the admin panel.

I'm using a variety of operating systems at the moment. My primary OS is Ubuntu, I happen to be on my home desktop which is used for gaming at the time of these screenshots. (Ubuntu gaming is still mediocre.) I use OS X at my office qu

I don't really have any interest in making money on this project and I feel like a hosted solution defeats the purpose. The best support you could give is writing some issues on GitHub, testing things, helping with documentation, or su

The time work is started is something I'm debating with myself on. I think I will add start + end date + time since it would help with making a timer persistent across pages/connection issues. Confirmation is a must, mistakes happ

It has the ability to do this at the API level but not on the interface yet. All the reporting functionality is coming over the course of the next week since that's pretty critical to time tracking.

I'm adding additional documentation for creating an initial user now! I agree with the packaging all JS files comment, for a truly self-hosted solution one should have this option and I plan on doing this for 1.0. Since we use django-c

Kimai does handle the stop watch functionality much better than I do right now. This is a huge feature for me personally so I do plan on making it much better.

It's Heroku with HN accessing a single "Free Tier" instance. If you install it locally or on your own server it is very fast.

What you're describing is the exact point of this project!

Good idea, I've already automated most everything else for testing and pushing to Heroku. I may as well!

I do plan on supporting things like Quickbooks via the export system and creating an actual workflow around that past just an "export" button and then "import". For my own use case I would like to have one location to en

It resets every 10 minutes or so, it's bound to break with HN hitting it and doing whatever they want to it.

I don't have any mock-ups. I'm literally just creating the UI as I go since I just started making this on Friday and wanted to get something working.

Hello HN, developer here. I started this Friday night because I wanted something much simpler than all the options I was given and something that I could host myself. There is a lot to do on this project still and I wanted to see what the r

Some screenshots would be useful but I'm still rapidly developing Timestrap and the interface is getting stuff added to it every few hours so I feel like it'd be a wasted effort on my part right now. EDIT: Added some screenshots t

I agree the dashboard is pretty worthless, I made it because I wanted to fiddle around with some Charts. The best thing would be what you're saying is tracking tasks.
