Working on a FOSS tool to convert raw work time data into a clean report for your boss or client. Any interest?
(lemmy.sdf.org)
It's almost done (it would take one or two weeks to clean it up for FOSS release). It's a CLI tool. It works great for my use case, but I'm wondering if there's any interest in a tool like this.
Say you have a simple time-tracking tool that tracks what you do daily. The only problem is that there are gaps and whatnot, which might not look nice if you need to send it to someone else. This tool fixes pretty much all of that.
Main format is a JSON with a "description", and either "duration" or a "start"/"end" pair. It supports the Timewarrior format out of the box (CLI Time tracking tool).
What someone feels is ethical and what may be legal don't always match. From a legal point of view in every country I've worked at as a contractor, "time laying in bed thinking about problems" isn't billable time.
As a personal time management solution, I don't see any issues here. As a billable time report maker, it has the very real potential to get the user into legal turmoil.
Use at your own risk and made damn sure that the laws match your idea of ethical billable hours, is all I'm saying.
