Expense Calculator 12 years ago

Clever solution - technically. For trips with my friends we use a "money-pot" system where everyone pays a fixed amount into a pot before the trip and everything we do or buy together is paid out of this pot. After the trip the calculation is much easier - refund = (remaining amount / persons) ;-)

I also run a time tracking service (http://www.spiketime.net <- sorry, I had to ;-)) and just tried Tiempo.

I really like the idea of instant invoices and the approval process (just the fee is a little bit high, I think).

Some random thoughts: - What's the difference between an employee and contractor - is it just the label or do they have different rights in your app?

- When you start the mobile app for the first time without using the website before you don't know the meaning of the icons for draft, submitted and approved (I thought the icon for approved was the save-button).

- When using the timer I can't select a customer/service when the timer runs as you do this when you click stop timer. Also it isn't possible to make any notes on a running timer

Hi guys, we are following HN on a regular basis and we are quite impressed with the quality feedback. Today we want to show our own product. Yes, it's another time tracking software. BUT we are freelancing for about 5 years and we found it pretty hard to find a decent time tracking software which is not terribly complicated but still has all the features needed for freelancers or small companies. That's why we decided to build SpikeTime. We appreciate any feedback. Thanks in advance!

I don't think it's intended that the plugin prevents the tab from actually closing (that would be very annoying). It's just to present the user something (special offer, ad, ...)
