It’s almost done (it would take one or two weeks to clean it up for FOSS release). It’s a CLI tool. It works great for my use case, but I’m wondering if there’s any interest in a tool like this.

Say you have a simple time-tracking tool that tracks what you do daily. The only problem is that there are gaps and whatnot, which might not look nice if you need to send it to someone else. This tool fixes pretty much all of that.

Main format is a JSON with a “description”, and either “duration” or a “start”/“end” pair. It supports the Timewarrior format out of the box (CLI Time tracking tool).

Ah I see. At my previous company we developed an in house clock in/out system that I always forgot to use. Never did but I wanted to build a big red button with an Arduino that clocked me in and out with the API and showed a timer

Big red button might help, but when I’m “in the zone” with coding, normally I forget everything around me :) One moment I’ll be browsing the web on my leisure time, and then I have an idea for one of my work projects, switch to that and “wake up” 8 hours later with lots of stuff done and no idea when I “clocked in” - that’s usually when I do “ls -lR” on my project folders and check file timestamps :D

This makes me glad not to be on the clock, I suck at remembering to do that stuff.

Though I tend to hyper focus on one thing for 4 or 5 hours at a time anyway

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
