Our users have been requesting a lot of features, we note down every single feature request. Of course we can’t implement everything at once :  we need to think about these changes and make sure we don’t limit ourselves in terms of flexibility and complexity. This post is a quick update to let you know what’s in the pipeline :

• timeblock listings on all users & tracker pages
• options to “include subtracker data” in all tracker pages. This way your tracker page can show reports/totals/timeblocks for all related/sub-trackers
• timeblock rounding (round to 5/10/15)
• better/more flexible reports (custom timeframes, drill down, …)
• project budgets, employees/consultant rates

No ETA yet, but you should be seeing some of the above features arrive in the near future. As soon as the above features are integrated we will evaluate if there is a real need to integrate some kind of “invoicing” functionality.

Remember you can always suggest new features. We hear you !

Update 1 (01/06/2010) – we have integrated timeblock rounding & timeblock listings

We have released a new version of the adobe air widget. Only one fix but a pretty big one :

In case of lost internet connection (just coming out of hibernation, network down, …) the widget kept going and you were not able to do anything with it. We’ve fixed this and the widget will timeout after 15 seconds.

After that you can just hit the “reload” button whenever the connection is back to start time punching again.

To provide you, and our existing customers with good support we decided to start using ZenDesk for all our “support desk” needs. From now on you will find a nice little “support” or “feedback” button on the left side of each page. Clicking this link allows you to quickly ask a question, contact support or tell us about a feature you would love to see integrated in trackmypeople.

Next to that we have a growing knowledge base (in fact it’s a forum). A rock solid bug/issue follow-up system integrated with all emails coming in over at support@trackmypeople.com. I must tell you we are pretty fast on answering your questions.

Don’t believe me ? Create a ticket or Report a bug, and see for yourself !

TrackMyPeople has been in business for a while now, and the least we can say is that is has been an incredible adventure all the way.

Thank you all once again for the tremendous feedback. Rest assured that your emails, bug tickets and feedback is being read and taken into account, thanks !

So, what’s new ?

Multi-Platform Time Tracking widget

We released an “Adobe Air” widget allowing you to easily track your time right from your desktop. Have a look at a video we made showing off the time tracking functionality .

You can download the widget (and some others) from the extras page.

Pricing & Plans available

As of the first of May 2010, TrackMyPeople is now considered ‘production ready’ (I avoided the word ‘stable’). Exactly for that same reason we think it’s time to start charging for our service. We opted for a ‘freemium’ model, allowing you to benefit from most TrackMyPeople features without having to pull out that credit card.

Have a look at our “Plans & Pricing”, and let us know what you think !

Complete Rewrite

As we ran into some performance issues we decided to rewrite TMP from scratch. That was a huge job but we are now on a maintainable & optimised code base. For our users this means improved loading times !

New functionality

A ‘limited’ list of new functionality, readily available from within your account

• User & Tracker Dashboard
• Day/Week/Month calendars everywhere (on tracker & user pages)
• Quick Day/Week time entry
• Improved tracker tree : quickly setup your company structure
• Mass Edit timeblocks
• Exporting Capabilities

Thank you !

Last but not least, we would like to use the opportunity given by this email to thank you all for the tremendous feedback you’ve given us over the last year: exhaustive and mercy-less bug reports, amazing suggestions, super-relevant remarks and deeply hearthwarming encouragements.

Thanks to all of you who helped make TrackMyPeople the lovely experience it has now hopefully become.

To speed up the general feeling of our application we have just rolled out an update that makes sure all your assets (images/css/javascript files) are coming from a server near your location.

This upgrade should improve loading times on all pages making sure you can quickly submit your timesheets and manage your business.
