I think I really needed a little YouTube video on the homepage to show me someone actively using the system so I can have that "oh, I see" moment before signing up.
Anyway +1 for the video preview.
Also, you should have a longer page where you explain the specifics of the app. Like for example when I click the read more link on the login page, I expect it to take me to a page explaining in detail about the app, and how it can help me with maybe a comparison with similar apps. Instead it takes me back to the landing page, which doesn't really explain too much.
Needs more user direction, but I like the idea and I'll certainly keep an eye on it.
Edit: Also, OpenID support would be nice, but is not a dealbreaker by any means. Nice work so far, for sure.
Some suggestions:
1. Improve the interface and make it clear how to use the app. The language isn't clear to me, such as the difference between a 'tracker' and an 'area'.
2. Make it so I can enter a days worth of data very easily. One single form for all my trackers.
3. Make it so I can compete/compare myself with other users. Maybe just friends that I select or maybe any other users. You could add user ranking charts, graphs, etc.
Kudos.
Can you explain how this is different from Rescuetime?
RescueTime way it's easier, but not that accurate. For example I use StackOverflow for both work and leisure. RescueTime both uses logs as same. By logging manually, I can mark the difference between those activities.
1. Log Activity -> Tracker should default to the tracker I just clicked from, instead of "Select tracker", duh!
2. Date: This should not be that big. It should just say "Today" in text, and then have a button to edit it, if it's not applicable.
3. Work done -> Why does it default to zero?
4. I would think that instead of tags, a summary or "notes" field would be better
5. I look forward to seeing what innovations you come up with in the future! Love it so far, especially the graph & simplicity of signup. Keep me on your mailing list (zackster@, I just signed up). I don't want to use it until it's more feature-filled, but I don't wanna keep checking back to see... I won't remember.
We will have weekly newsletters for sure ;)
