The tracker is called Kairo, coming from an Ancient Greek word Kairos meaning the right, critical, or opportune moment.

This is my first time working with serverless - VueJS, Netlify, FaunaDB.

My motivation to build Kairo: I always struggled with time trackers, mainly because of the granularity and the UI. As someone working in an asynchronous environment, I wanted to see how much time of specific activity I have left to do anytime in the day and make sure I do not do more. This made me more focused and productive. On one screen, I have the dashboard; on the other, I am working.

It evolved into a flexible tracking dashboard throughout the past few months, with habit tracking and countdown-alert, creating different features, such as Pomodoro.

There is also a feature Status page, that allows you to share a link with others in the household, telling them when your focus ends.

I am curious what you think about the concept. I know the space with time/habit tracking is very saturated; if it weren't for learning and fun, I wouldn't go in this direction, happy I did now. There are already paying customers, even though it didn't officially launch yet.

You can try the tracker for free without logging in.

This looks pretty interesting, I took it for a quick spin. Maybe it's a bit too busy, there seems to be A LOT going on when I did the test data thing, the tour thing helps. That reporting area looks really cool.

Also, I had to disable uBlock Origin to get things to work right.

I like what you're trying to accomplish here, I think you're on to something with the functionality. The look & feel isn't the best (also not terrible), though I'm not a designer by a long shot.

Thank you blakesterz for taking it for a spin. :)

I wonder what uBlock Origin blocked that prevented you to experience it. Perhaps just the initial tutorial (I am using Inline Manual, which might be on the block list for its analytics endpoint), but hopefully not the other set of core functionalities.

Looks like 4 things on inlinemanual.com and one on sentry.org

I have been quite overwhelmed by the feedback (through the feedback button), attention and the number of visits this got. Thank you, really appreciate it!

Sorry that the mobile version is not yet ready. I am still trying to figure out how to best do this on mobile, to still make it a dashboard but make it useful on small screen with the same/similar experience like on the desktop.
