I vibe coded my own harvest or toggl app in one weekend.

Do you have a repo you could point people too? That would be interesting to see.

Fable built me a version that covered all of my needs in an hour. (Clients pay me via ACH/wire - maybe it would have taken a day if I needed a stripe integration?). Runs on localhost with SQLite - incredibly basic, but I enjoy it twice as much as Harvest.

I used my Harvest data export and generated PDF invoices as the majority of the “spec”.

Feels silly to open source this, given how little effort it was… (and because I’m certainly not going to respond to others PRs) but I’m happy to if anyone wants.

Same. Feels like there's no point of open source it. I mean, everyone can basically do it on their side.

Post for the planet? (power/water usage)

An unregistered lurker somewhere is too lazy, shy, or scared to ask, but they’ll start prompting soon :)

Same, works great.

Love this. Lots of software companies are sitting on no moat. Not talking about Harvest, but your JIRAs just jam a bunch of crap that most people don't need and then have to raise prices to justify it, before PE comes along.

A software company's value is not just providing software, it's providing reliable software at a good price. The 'good price' for a ton of stuff has plummetted.
