My wife and I have been working on our own task-listing, time-tracking web application, and we''re really interested in some feedback as we ourselves feel we''ve come a long way. If you have some minutes to kill (or just want to see how the Comet functionality provided by the Juggernaut plugin can work) have a look at http://www.clockingit.com and http://www.clockingit.com/comet.html Feel free to let me know if you have any questions, and I''ll do my best to answer. Regards, Erlend Simonsen
Erlend, thanks for opening up your product. I must say I''m impressed. It is really good! I mean, you gotta love that it is free although I wouldn''t mind paying some money if I continue using it. I will present it where I work (Hyperx, Inc.) to see if we can standardize on this. My only problem then would be that I would have to have two sessions open: one for my normal work and one for my freelance work. I wish a user coud belong to different groups of projects/clients and those groups could be shared. Anyway, I like what you are doing and I will do some more testing.

Glad you liked it, we''re planning on keeping everything free for quite a while, hopefully we''ll get a much better link in a few weeks for about the same we''re paying now - and you don''t require many servers to handle a simple web applications like this where people click a couple of links every few hours to start/stop working. =) Regards, Erlend Simonsen
I like it! It feels much like a client/server app. Will use it for awhile to see if it matched my lifestyle. You say it uses Comet and Juggernaut. Where can I find more information on Comet and Juggernaut? I have a requirenment to create a similar interface. ( not a tasklist), but there inline editing and showing/hiding forms on the webpage. -Larry On 8/15/06, Erlend Simonsen <mr@fudgie.org> wrote:> > On Mon, 2006-08-14 at 17:36 -0600, Adrian Madrid wrote: > > thanks for opening up your product.

Thanks for the tip! I will give that try. I guess if I create clients that''s where everybody sees them (clients), right?

Erlend, I presented the app to my boss and he seems to like it too. One question he had was about seeing the logs of the chats. The chat for me is really cool although I''m not sure if I will see it all the time. The thing with IM is that it can pop up and let you know in many ways that somebody is pinging you. I guess time will tell.

Juggernaut (http://juggernaut.rubyforge.org/) is a Comet implementation for Rails using a Flash applet as the bridge between the push server and the web browser. If you''re just going to do inline editing and showing/hiding of forms, you don''t really need much more than what ships with Rails by default. Comet is used to push javascript to the browsers connected to the push server, based on events you define and trigger in your application. Regards, Erlend Simonsen

Permissions on clients etc. is on my task list, so it''ll come a bit further down the road. Regards, Erlend Simonsen

I guess time will tell.Hmm... A way to see the chat logs would probably be a good idea. Duly noted and added to my tasklist for ClockingIT. As I already have a flash applet used to push chat events to the browsers, I can probably add some kind of sound on chat events making it a bit more obvious that someone said something.

You''re right. This project doesn''t need push technology. Thanks for clearing that up. -Larry On 8/15/06, Erlend Simonsen <mr@fudgie.org> wrote:> > Larry Kelly wrote: > > I like it!

[Rails] [ANN] ClockingIT Beta - It''s about time...
Nice work. I''ve been using IT for the last day and half. I must admit it took me a bit to figure out the tasklist interface but I really like it. Perhaps make the ''Reorder Tasks'' link a bit more prominent. Maybe I''m just blind but I didn''t notice until this afternoon that you can reorder the tasks. Again great job.
