A timer, a table and a sum. This is one of the smallest real products on the list and a bot will have a better-fitted version running in an afternoon, because the thing that makes time tracking annoying isn't the software - it's remembering to press start. That's where a bot actually beats the SaaS: it can watch your calendar and your git commits and draft the timesheet for you to correct, which is a fundamentally easier habit than starting a timer you'll forget.
the prompt
Written for a bot that already has a browser, a terminal and your logins · paste it in whole.
You have a computer, a browser, my calendar and my GitHub. Track my time - and do the remembering, because I won't. The basics: - Projects and hourly rates in a config file. Time entries in SQLite: project, start, end, note. - A page on localhost: start and stop a timer, edit any entry, see this week by project. The part that makes this worth doing - draft my timesheet for me: - Every evening, look at my calendar events and my GitHub commits for the day. - Draft time entries from them: a 90-minute meeting tagged with a client name becomes 90 minutes on that project, a run of commits on a repo becomes a block on the matching project. - Post the draft to Slack at 6pm as a list I can correct with a reply. Nothing is recorded until I confirm. - If a day has no calendar events and no commits, don't invent anything. Ask. Invoicing: - Monthly, generate a per-client invoice from confirmed hours, as a PDF with the entries itemised. - Draft only. Show it to me. I send it. Rules: never log time I haven't confirmed, never round in my favour, and if a day looks impossible - more than 12 hours - flag it rather than recording it.
the bot will need to sign into: google-calendar · github · slack
