TimeKeeper v0.1.1 Released

TimeKeeper is a little utility tool that has become both a pet project for testing out new PHP and JavaScript tools as well as a very useful tool that I use every day to keep track of my billable hours, projects and tasks that are completed through out the day. An example of TimeKeeper in action can be found at timekeeper.kynda.net

This week, after a year of dormacy, I updated TimeKeeper to v0.1.1 with a major internal refactoring and improvement in the interface’s “responsiveness.” Major improvements include:

• The UI is now 100% responsive thanks to a rewrite of all templates to Bootstrap3
• Libraries now install via bower and composer
• Moved database configuration into a seperate config.php file, this along with the bower and composer updates makes installing TimeKeeper much easier
• 100% Documentation of all interfaces and files used by TimeKeeper

Future Plans

TimeKeeper’s direction is still rather vague. This is a useful tool for a single user to keep track of their own time. I am not yet sure if I want to keep it focused on being a planning tool for a single user or to expand TimeKeeper into a team-based tool.

The single biggest issue with TimeKeeper is that it does not provide a password-protected user log in which means that it cannot be public-facing or at least ends up relying on apache for user-login.

v0.2.0 RoadMap

For v0.2.0, which will be released “whenever,” I plan on adding the following features to TimeKeeper:

• Single-User Password Log In (so the site can be public-facing)
• A Reports table that generates a variety of charts analyzing the filtered time frame including: break down of 100% time spent per project or billable hours; daily break down showing hours worked and whether they went over or under 40 hours; Perhaps a monthly report as well.
• 100% Test coverage
