Building a time-tracking app with invoicing: billablehours.app
Pinned
When doing freelancing, I was tracking my time with a time tracker. Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted some of my entries and the only way to get the data back, was to contact support.

So I started to create my own. This is how billablehours.app is born. #buildinpublic

For billablehours.app, I was looking for a way to use CRON, but I couldn't find an easy-to-use and free tool.

I discovered that Github Actions can be an awesome tool for doing that!

Telegram is amazing! For billablehours.app, I decided that I wanted to respond quickly to errors, so I created a Telegram bot. I can send myself errors, new user sign-ups etc...

What you can do with it is really amazing, and it's free!

The end of the month is approaching and billablehours.app promise is that it will make you save time when creating invoice. So I'm finalising many things to provide the best experience for people creating their invoices at the beginning of the month!

Today, I realised that people had no way of resetting their password... So I had to create this flow, because I'm not validating people's email to let them try the app quickly!

But maybe I should implement a magic-link login instead for billablehours.app?
