Thank you for sharing.

How much time it took you to build first version and whole product? Any advice for starters?

There were several stages of MVP. First usable version took a month and half to build and public launch with 2 IDEs supported was 2 and half months after starting to build.

May 3 2013 - Started development Flask website & Vim plugin (https://wakatime.com/blog/1-why-i-built-wakatime)

June 25 2013 - Finished Vim plugin and Website (https://github.com/wakatime/vim-wakatime/commit/4346a055e301...)

July 1 2013 - Started Sublime plugin (https://github.com/wakatime/sublime-wakatime/commit/b7fe36f8...)

July 15 2013 - Finished Sublime plugin and public launch (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6046227)

Unfortunately I don't have WakaTime data until after finishing the Vim plugin, but everything after that I can see how long the actual coding took by dogfooding.
