SlimTimer Roadmap
Posted by Richard White Mon, 24 Jul 2006 20:01:16 GMT
Based on a favorable TechCrunch review, rocketing to the front page of <a
href=”http://digg.com/tech_news/SlimTimer_makes_task_timing_easy”>Digg and lots of positive comments from new users, I declare the href=”http://www.slimtimer.com”>SlimTimer release a success. The number of helpful comments I’ve received users has been overwhelming and the forum is teeming good feature
ideas. I’ve been listening to all your feedback and have put together my development roadmap for SlimTimer. In the spirit of setting expectations and creating transparency, what SlimTimer is all about, here are the improvements to watch for in the coming weeks:
This Week
SlimTimer
- Tags autocomplete
- Settings for minimum Time Entry duration (any entry less than this minimum would be discarded)
- Rewriting some of the backend code to be more robust
Tasks
- Tag based sharing. For example, you could specify coworkers and reports for all Tasks tagged ‘billable’.
- Sharing notifications will only be sent the first time you share a Task with someone, instead of being sent for every shared task as it is now.
- Coworker/Reporter autocomplete
Reporting
- Ability to choose your row and column types (time, users, tags, tasks) instead of being locked into predefined sets (users by time, etc)
- Settings for rounding (ex: 5, 15 or 30 minute increments) and time display formats (ex: 3:30 or 3.5).
- Filter Time Entries by Tags
API
- RESTful access to Time Entries and Tasks
On the Horizon
Edit Entries
- Overhaul: Edit a whole week of entries at a time. Mini-calendar to help with navigation.
Increased Browser Compatibility
- Opera 9
- Internet Explorer 7
SlimTimer
- Settings for whether to the timer should stop when closed or continue running until you open it back up again and stop it.
Integration
- Initial Backpack Integration (Tasks only)
Of course, I’ll let you know as these features roll out so stay tuned.
