https://logmyhours.com - Time Tracking & Invoicing Software. Floating around the 1K mark. Been stuck here for a bit, struggling to get any more traction.

Awesome, the UX is beautiful.

I’ve got a couple Saas ideas for building as side projects but as the common startup advice goes - I need to validate the idea first. Would you like to share how did you validate the idea, or was it a project for a customer which was later productised? thanks!

  • Thanks.

    I originally created the site back in 2011 mostly just freshen up my PHP skills, and I needed a way to keep track of my work hours. It was just a basic free to use timesheet tool for for around 4 years. It was super ugly but it was still getting people signing up but only a handful would stick around.

    I decided rebuild it all and launch it was a proper SaaS in 2015.

    If I had to start over today, I'm not sure what I would do. I just like to build things I would use. I'd try to find an existing tool and see if I it's something I feel I could do better.

Have you added a way to integrate the data to accounting applications like QBO ?

  • It's been something I've been wanting do but it keeps getting pushed back. Our App needs a major update first I think and then support for QB would be next.
