The question is about the use case and how much technical people are.
Excel format is bad because it’s not clear simple text in the raw text format. Also for simple local database with not that much data.
CSV with quirks could be edited with any text editor, put into LLM, shared, GIT history edits. That’s also the benefits of local notes in filesystem in MD format (oobsidian).
Problem with plain CSV is that I can’t do any formatting even the simplest or make simple formulas. I could make calculations using DuckDB or something but it have friction.
I made a Shortcut + PHP to get text from a screenshot, ask ChatGPT to make a task name from text, and create new task in Clickup and attache a screenshot. Use it often.
I created https://www.timecamp.com that can track processes, window titles and url (free). Those informations presented visually can help make better timesheets :)

This is our second post in a series of posts. We want to share those lessons in further posts, because we feel that for this moment we don’t have enough learned to write about this.
Interesting case study. I think we will write in couple of months how it ended in TimeCamp. Did you have clear goal and saw how this statistics was used and if it was usefull?
Vacations to Canada to visit my family (3 weeks). I think I could learn and feel startups culture there.
I have a friend that was visiting silicon valley, and I was amazed by his stories.
But funding will be probably the topic on the plate that time. We are starting getting some traction, and want to sell scale it. Polish enterprise market is not big enough probably.
