I signed up to preview, but I really didn't get what I was doing. I tried to add a Home list for Stuff I do at home. I tried to log the activity of mowing the lawn, but it wants a "number" for the work done. I just don't understand.
I think I really needed a little YouTube video on the homepage to show me someone actively using the system so I can have that "oh, I see" moment before signing up.
You really should explain more about the app on the landing page. Maybe put a link to a screencast on the landing page. And since there is so little text, you should increase the size of the text. Computer monitors are designed to be read from a distance of about 1.5 feet or more and your text is a bit too small to be read comfortably from that distance (I got weak eyes). You should bump up the text size by maybe 2 points.
Also, you should have a longer page where you explain the specifics of the app. Like for example when I click the read more link on the login page, I expect it to take me to a page explaining in detail about the app, and how it can help me with maybe a comparison with similar apps. Instead it takes me back to the landing page, which doesn't really explain too much.
Just signed up and started playing around with it (although I agree with snitko, there needs to be something pre-signup to tell you what it is). When I went to log activity, it said "Work done", with a '0' in the field. This doesn't tell you what you're measuring, which I believe is a problem. For instance, is this lines of code? Is it the number of goals I met? Can I type in what I did and have it log that?
Needs more user direction, but I like the idea and I'll certainly keep an eye on it.
Edit: Also, OpenID support would be nice, but is not a dealbreaker by any means. Nice work so far, for sure.
1. Improve the interface and make it clear how to use the app. The language isn't clear to me, such as the difference between a 'tracker' and an 'area'.
2. Make it so I can enter a days worth of data very easily. One single form for all my trackers.
3. Make it so I can compete/compare myself with other users. Maybe just friends that I select or maybe any other users. You could add user ranking charts, graphs, etc.
Nice. Just signed up, but it was not straight forward what I have to fill on those tracker boxes (Maybe because I'm in a hurry). It's good if you can emailt2punchT support & maybe twitter support too. (ex: http://texthog.com)
RescueTime logs by app/website. In PunchT, you log manually.
RescueTime way it's easier, but not that accurate. For example I use StackOverflow for both work and leisure. RescueTime both uses logs as same. By logging manually, I can mark the difference between those activities.
That's helpful -- a helpful explanation, I mean, as well as a potentially helpful tool. It'd be great if you could say more stuff like this on your home page. I tend not to sign up without a lot more information.
This is cool, I was actually thinking of making the exact same app a while ago.
1. Log Activity -> Tracker should default to the tracker I just clicked from, instead of "Select tracker", duh!
2. Date: This should not be that big. It should just say "Today" in text, and then have a button to edit it, if it's not applicable.
3. Work done -> Why does it default to zero?
4. I would think that instead of tags, a summary or "notes" field would be better
5. I look forward to seeing what innovations you come up with in the future! Love it so far, especially the graph & simplicity of signup. Keep me on your mailing list (zackster@, I just signed up). I don't want to use it until it's more feature-filled, but I don't wanna keep checking back to see... I won't remember.
