Awesome work. But I would prefer log-in/registration with own email/password combo. I hate 3rd party logins.

One alternative would be, and what worked for me, is a simple old school pomodoro tracker:

1: get pomodoro app/timer like http://tomato-timer.com/ 2: aim for 3 or so pomodoro sessions/day for your project or new thing you want to do or to learn 3: profit

Nice thing about pomodoro technique is that the distraction is already included. You focus 25 minutes and then have 5 minutes distraction time. It adds up for motivation if you know that you can have a break after a short perdiod of time.

Hey, thanks for the feedback it's much appreciated!

Already planning to add the email/password login option as it's been requested quite a few times.

I've thought about app/widget/thing for doing time tracking and pomodoro style but decided against it right at the beginning, I'll keep thinking about it and see what feedback I get from others regarding it.

Also consider using passwordless authentication instead, see http://passwordless.org/
