klog

This looks great, plain-text is underrated. Do you use this yourself, and for how long? Your format looks like a slightly more strict version of this one here:…

Really love this. I try to keep my contracting work time tracking as simple as possible, but I really hate using the spreadsheet I use now. Going to give this a shot!

This is a fantastic idea! I'm going to write a similar one for myself. It never occurred to me that I could use a markdown file as a data files to record time against. I keep a…

Same for me – I have one file per client per month. At the end of the month I do `klog eval 2020-12.klg` and copy&paste the result to the invoice. Do you have that Perl script…

Cool project! Thank you for sharing, and for using .txt as data format. I think it's by far the most resilient and compatible, and the least user-surprising data format we have…

That's what I'm talking about. Now, imagine you take that block and copy it from one text file and into another. The meaning is now completely lost. I think that using lines as…

E.g. say you want to take over 50h worth of time from somewhere else into a new `.klg` file, then you would be able to note that down under a single record. My thought was that…

The warning sounds good but that use case makes sense - often it's better to allow "slightly unclean" data to make the format work better than to demand that someone work out how…

Awesome, I wanted to build exactly this and found this project. Would like to build a glossy client for it.

I see #tagging capabilities. When work requires time tracking, an entry usually corresponds to a reference ticket number and/or git hash. In a unix|pipe spirit, then posting this…

Thanks for building this! I'm especially excited about the "file format" part! Hope others can implement extra clients around this. I could imagine an android app with…

Looks interesting! Out of curiosity, why didn't you choose sqlite instead of a plaintext format? With sqlite the users could write their own queries to get the information they…

I'm a big fan of time tracking for personal reasons. Does this give something that timewarrior[0] doesn't? [0]: https://timewarrior.net

So far i’ve been happy with ``` org-clock-in ``` https://orgmode.org/manual/Clocking-commands.html#Clocking-commands but i know some taskwarrior folks too. what is new and cool…

I use emacs org mode with the built-in time tracking features (org-clock-in). A while ago I built an analyzer for org files that allows to spice and dice how you spent your time:…

At least take a look at how Timewarrior stores things, maybe you will get some ideas: https://timewarrior.net/docs/files.html

This reminded me of ledger, the plain text accounting tool. FWIW, ledger has time tracking and billing capabilities, too. For example:…

I have been using the format used by gtimelog[1] for years. It has the benefit of adding one entry per line, so processing is extremely simple. [1]:…
