Thanks.

I originally created the site back in 2011 mostly just freshen up my PHP skills, and I needed a way to keep track of my work hours. It was just a basic free to use timesheet tool for for around 4 years. It was super ugly but it was still getting people signing up but only a handful would stick around.

I decided rebuild it all and launch it was a proper SaaS in 2015.

If I had to start over today, I'm not sure what I would do. I just like to build things I would use. I'd try to find an existing tool and see if I it's something I feel I could do better.

It's been something I've been wanting do but it keeps getting pushed back. Our App needs a major update first I think and then support for QB would be next.

I love my little Surface Go, using it to write this reply now! I hope they release a new one this year with a better CPU, and with WSL2 right around the corner, it'll be the perfect tool for coding on the go.

Ah. Good to know :). Cheers

For sure! It's a great way to discover new tools.

Yeah good to know. I don't do a lot of writing, so always trying to improve. Cheers

There was only 2 affiliate links, the other was for rescue time, but I have removed them both.

Blog planner is just a small tool I made on the side. But yeah, I should point that out. Thanks for the feedback!

I've only used it for working with Ionic, so I can only give feedback on that. I updated the text to point that out.

Fixed with a normal link :).

Should I post it as a normal post then?

You could always look into Ionic. Version 4 just released recently and looks promising. Always nice to have 1 codebase for both mobile devices.

logmyhours.com - I'm happy with it so far though, it's something I've built for myself (I log all my hours working on it) and 100% on my own and has been a great learning experience. But it is getting harder and harder to work after work.

I love that I get to chat with customers and see what really are their pain points (something devs rarely ever get to do).

If I can double the MRR and relocate outside of Vancouver, I can most likely go full-time.

I've been working on my own Time Tracking tool since 2015 as a side project. I've managed to break 1k MMR. The competition is just insane. Every day I discover a couple new time tracking tools, and every one of them looks better than the last one. I've actually started exploring other SaaS ideas on the side (nothing too serious yet though).

Ads really suck at our pricing point. Google & Bing are $5+ CPC for most of the main time tracking keywords. Facebook ads were horrible from my experience (and none of the other major time tracking tools are running them).

I don't really have any advice, but do want to wish you the best of luck!
