Nice work! I have no idea if this could fit into your roadmap (and this is probably the kind of feature request you should absolutely say no to) but my partner and I made a thing called TagTime that does time-tracking via random sampling (pinging you at random times) and I'm offering the domain tagtime.com to whoever subsumes the janky Perl-scripts-plus-Vim version we use and makes a proper TagTime-in-the-cloud. There's a pretty decent community of users to tap into but, again, it would probably entail a substantial pivot.

Nice. I see that you did this invite/offer first time in 2017. What is the main reason no one took you on it? What is the result of ttc tagging since then?
Good questions; I don't have good answers! Various people have taken a stab at it, suffered 90%-done syndrome, and, yeah. As for myself, I have 70 ttc pings (52.5 hours of work) pretty much exclusively on project management type stuff, like trying out people's betas or refining the rules of the offer or other writing. I suppose I'd count writing this comment if TagTime pinged me right now... (it didn't).
Sounds like a cool project, but I think I'll focus on my Python scrips for now :)
To clarify, by "subsume the janky Perl version" I did not mean touching any Perl code!
