SlimTimer Launched!

Posted by Richard White Thu, 20 Jul 2006 20:15:00 GMT

After many delays and a couple betas, I’m proud to announce that SlimTimer is open to the public. Also exciting is that it has already garnered a favorable TechCrunch review, w00t! The principles of SlimTimer are simple:

  • Making time tracking easier by eliminating timesheets in favor of using a web based timer.
  • Time tracking on an individual basis. You can set who your coworkers and stakeholders are on each specific task.
  • Getting rid of rigid client > project > task hierarchies in lieu of using tagging to create a workflow that works best for you.
  • Creating transparency between the people working on a project and those paying for it. Your clients can view time worked on their project in real time, avoiding any surprises when the invoice arrives.

I’m looking to constantly evolve SlimTimer based on user feedback. So give it a whirl and if you like it please tell your friends and your local online news outlets :)

    Very groovey. I shall shower you with more praise when I generate some reports that show I wrote too much Rails code and not enough work code.

  2. Simon B. said about 18 hours later:

    Could you consider allowing some web single-sign method? I’ve got LID, OpenID and Yadis. Many blogs support OpenID, so it might be a good choice. User advantage: not another password to remember Your advantage: instead of the “throw away” email address you get an identity URL which has more programmable functionality than an email adress.

    Simon: I’ll admit I don’t know much about that arena. Could you shoot me an email with some links to examples?

  4. Matt (mithrill) said 9 days later:

    I must say SlimTimer is a great product. Simple, clean, effective. Very helpful. Thanks for doing such a great job with it. Do you have any plans to release a pay only version with more features?

  5. Richard White said 10 days later:

    Matt: At some point yes, but its not an immediate concern of mine. I’m more focused on pushing the next important release out the door (API, sharing by tags, RSS of reports). Thanks for the kind words, tell your friends :)
