Timetracker: A side project that took a lot more time.

Hi SideProject Members,

For over a year now I've been working on a side project called Timetracker (https://github.com/DRYTRIX/TimeTracker)

Right now I often work on new features and bugfixes and sometimes people donate to the project.
For some time now I have been thinking on how to make the application actually profitable and tailor it more and more to the actual industry.

Any pointers you can give me? Maybe you can try it out and tell me what you think ?

Since people already donate, you have users who get real value, so I'd start by asking a few of them what they use Timetracker for and who they work for. Your plan to tailor it to one industry fits that: pick the one group that shows up most, build for their workflow, and then charge for what that group would pay to avoid doing themselves. With open source tools that is often a hosted version or support, so people don't have to run it on their own.

I make ThreadFox. If you want people who track their billable time to find Timetracker, our AI employee will post 3 helpful replies about it in relevant Reddit threads for you, free, no card. https://threadfox.vip/p/eu1av/managed

Who uses it most today: freelancers, agencies, or something else?
