Oh no!!! Brilliant suggestions like that would mean I would need to change the screencast video. However, in usual timesheets/time trackers you rarely record who you worked with.

The more I think about it, and read peoples feedback here on HN, the more I realise that the strength of DoneCal is in its time-tracking features. I.e. past events. Google Calendar is better for keeping track of upcoming meetings.

You're right! I completely forgot to mention FullCalendar. About page now updated and ready for next release. Cal DAV features are coming. I'm putting this on Hacker News for exactly that kind of feedback. However, I'm more going to trust t

It's got plenty of rounded corners! :) A lot of people use Google Calendar to keep track meetings and birthdays and then use Excel to track time spent. DoneCal is an improvement on the Excel but with an appearance more like Google Calendar.

I really struggled to keep the video short without feeling rushed. Statistics and reporting is a key feature but I hope those features will just appear if you start using it.

Yes definitely. This app was launched yesterday and it hasn't got that far yet. I'm also going to add OpenID login so Google et al. can take care of that security concern for me.

Fair point. But DoneCal is more suited for past events so to import for example all US holidays wouldn't be super useful. Google Calendar is otherwise great for future events.

The API will probably get more advanced in the future. Hopefully one day someone will build an iPhone app or something that works similarly to the web app but using the API to store the data "in the cloud". I'll need to think about the anch

"time-logging application"? That's what DoneCal is.

That's what DoneCal is trying to solve with the Bookmarklet. Did you check out the video on that? http://donecal.com/help/#bookmarklet I'm not familiar with OhLife but a feature I've been considering for DoneCal is an email that is sent o

I like that. I'll think about the right bullet points to add and put it near the video.

by peterbe 16y ago
All valid points. Thanks! 1. A good idea. I could summorize the main points made in the video in text underneath. 2. I think going through basic points are valuable too because they speak to non-techy users too. 3. I'm torn. Perhaps # is a

Thanks! The API will most likely become more and more advanced with time. I need to keep it slim for now and only develop features that people actually want and need. I made the video with something called Snapz Pro on a mac. I'm a Linux pe

Feedbackroulette has been good to me http://feedbackroulette.com/ But you only really get as many reviews as you give yourself.

Major reson Django sucks much less than Zope3: There's "only" one way to do things. Less is more. Choices lead to confusion. Let's continuing making the less even better.

That is genuinely impressive. Never seen anything like it before on any other website. Not sure it's needed now with the great autocomplete but it sure looks really great.

I think this is fantastic because it means people can try them and assure that they actually work without having to take the big leap of buying one. Something you might only otherwise be able to do if you're Jay Leno rich. Way to go Enterpr

This benchmark impressed us all that uWSGI was a lightning bolt but it's huge drawback was having to recompile Nginx (package usage hell) but that might soon be a thing of the past http://nichol.as/benchmark-of-python-web-servers

No. It's not any different from the paper based alternative. That risk is always there no matter what the medium. SnapExpense has a basic fraud-detection feature that prevents duplicate images in the system.
