I find this a very interesting product category - and I'm part of a very (I feel) undeserved category of consultant/freelancers. The essence of what you seem to be doing "uber simple" (the the home page states), is what had me interested.

But, after seeing your video, and the number of times a user has to click on different elements - it's clear this is not a simple logging tool. I also think the video could be (a) called out above the fold and (b) include some sort of voice over.

I feel there is a market ready and waiting for those that work on more abstract sorts of things. Situations where work might form more organically from a blog post on http://blogging.cwl.cc (it's happened) or a small idea (more frequent), and eventually turns into billing or a larger scale project. With tools like these that are project-based - It feels like logging friction is much to high.

The problem is not being solved (in my opinion) because generally no one wants to log what they do, but for those that have decided to do so, there should be little to no clicking and a process to capture everything written in very low overhead manner (mobile support is essential).

So far, no tool seems to be as good as a simple OTA sync'ed calendar. So far.

Thanks for the feedback. We've had a few comments about the video and it's currently under review. I think a series of screencasts with voiceover would help.

It's interesting that you were attracted by its simplicity headline, but that you feel it's not that simple to enter time. We definitely need to address this if it could be streamlined further.

Agreed that mobile support is essential and we are working on resolving this. Low overhead is key.

We are learning a hell of a lot as a result of the feedback on Hacker News and you raise some key fundamentals areas to review.

Thanks, I really appreciate you taking the time to let us know your thoughts.

You're very welcome. I'm reading what I've written and it seems overly critical of your work. I don't want you to feel that's the case; it does look like a wonderful tool and, in the case of a developer or a web freelancer, may be very useful indeed.

I look forward to seeing how this project unfolds and I appreciate you taking the time to read my suggestions.

No problem. It's great to get your opinion from a brand new user's perspective. We don't want to build a product we think people will want. Instead we want to help businesses be more profitable and improve their processes. To do this we really need to userstand our markets and messages. Our plan is to review all the feedback, implement and then post on Hacker News when the next iteration that addresses some of the comments is available.
