quarter VS logseq

I am working on a personal time-tracker where I try to make it as effortless as possible to keep track of what activities you spend time on.

Rationale, as a consultant I am often required to use multiple time-tracking software, all made for accountants, all terrible to use. I made this little web application where I can track my daily activities and at the end of the week transfer the result to whatever system needed.

The desktop is the most polished mode, mobile is functional but I mostly use if for viewing.

It's open source, the hosted version has open registrations given a GitHub or GMail account.

I would appreciate feedback on basically anything. I have been using the same system (during many different rewrites) for years so I am pretty blind to what needs improvement.

Thanks!

I have this hobby project for personal time tracking I work on from time to time. It's usable enough for my daily use so motivation has dropped since that point.

I've used QuarterApp for personal time tracking. Not sure if it has grouping features though: https://github.com/eliasson/quarter

It has now reached a point where I think it could be of use or interest for others. You can find it here if you're interested https://github.com/eliasson/quarter

Logseq support via our Logseq Plugin

Sorry, but _what exactly_ «it seems to do» from your point of view?

My «second brain» now is almost 300Mb of text, pictures, sound files, PDF and other stuff. As I already mentioned, it contains tables, mathematical formulae, sheet music, cross-references, code samples, UML diagrams and graphs in Graphviz format. It is versioned, indexed by local search engine, analyzed by AI assistant and shared between many computers and mobile devices. And (last but not least) it works: it allows me to solve my tasks way more faster than with the assistant of external, non-personalized tools (like ChatGPT, StackExchange or Google).

I know no tools for all this tasks except org-mode. Well, maybe Evernote in the 2010-s was something similar — but with less features, with more bugs and with worse interface.

Personal note-taking _is_ a complex task per se (well, at least for someone like typical HN visitor). I've seen many note-taking tools, that were ridiculously featureless, stupid and inconvenient because they were _not_ complex enough.

> Sure if one wants to do emacs-gardening it is fine.

1)You can use org-mode outside Emacs. See for example Logseq (https://logseq.com/), organice (https://organice.200ok.ch/) or EasyOrg.

2)Org-mode works in Emacs out of the box, you don't need any «emacs-gardening» to use org-mode.

3)The term «Emacs-gardening» itself sound a bit like hate-speech for me. The complexity of Emacs customization is overrated, mostly due to opinions of people who never used Emacs or used it in the previous millennium.

Obsidian is great.

For those looking for an open source alternative (or don't want to pay the Obsidian fees for professional usage) check out Logseq: https://logseq.com/

For an opensource alternative to Obsidian checkout Logseq (1). I spent a while thinking obsidian was opensource out of my own ignorance and was disappointed when I learned it was not.

I use logseq to keep journal of my daily work.

While Emacs and Org mode can certainly be used for this (and, when they can't, you can always inject little python/js scripts in your emacs config to take care of specific things), I'd also recommend you take a look at Logseq.
