Use Figma and a touch of AI to plan your next home renovation project.

So nice to hear, thank you! What kind of invoice integration would you want?

I love the fact that you inspected the code :)

We're fans of Bootstrap and jQuery ourselves, but believe in giving Ding the custom treatment. Time tracking is a crowded space after all.

I take that as a compliment, thanks. We have no plans of changing the price, so every new feature we add will be included into the existing plan, giving you more bang for the buck.

There's been quite a few requests regarding invoicing, and while I won't promise anything in the short term, we'll work hard to make Ding better in the future. People requested a start/stop-timer which we just implemented, so we do listen and take your feedback seriously.

I'm glad to hear you like it. Thanks! The hippo is a Danish design classic from 1955 made by Kay Bojesen: http://www.kaybojesen-denmark.com/

You're more than welcome to give Ding a shot. It's free for the 45 first days, so you have nothing to lose :) I think you'll appreciate its clean UI and simple approach, and if there's anything keeping you from using it, shoot me an email at [email protected] and I'll see what we can do.

I'm glad you like it. Thanks!

I agree that a "get started" page could be a neat thing, and the onboarding experience is something we're planning to overhaul. Ding should however be quite simple: create a project and log time. As you log your hours, you can easily see the time spent and the money made.

If you want to filter out and export your time entries, it's possible in the Overview section.

I hope you'll give it a shot. If you're stuck, shoot me an email at [email protected] and I'll get to you asap.

Thanks a lot. As the designer, I'm thrilled to hear you recognize and appreciate the details. We'll certainly keep on refining those in the future.

You're right: Ding is built for freelancers and small teams who do consulting. Preferably those who operate with an hourly rate, so you can keep track of the money earned. To maintain the simplicity of Ding, we try to avoid different modes and settings whenever we can, but sometimes they prove necessary. Your use case seems like something that's not quite core to our product, but it's certainly an interesting perspective that we'll brainstorm around. Would you be willing to pay for something you only use for personal needs?

That's some great tips. Thanks!

1) Agreed. This has been up for discussion several times, and it's high on the list. We'll post these kind of smaller tweaks on Twitter, so if you stick to using Ding, keep an eye out there [0].

2) We've tried to get the most essential stats within the statistics panel on the top, and let you quickly tab through these. The hours of the day is usually pretty visible within the top of the activity feed, but I guess it is less clear if there's several short intervals rather than two-three big ones. I'll take a close look at it and see if there's a way to tweak this.

3) Another great idea – we'll see if we can move it further up the list.

We really appreciate all the great input, so thanks again. Our biggest challenge is time as we're a small team, but we'll keep on truckin' :)

If we get numerous requests for a certain integration, we'll see what we can do. Until now, there haven't really been much of this, so we've put our efforts into the developing the product itself.

As for the price, I guess it's higher than some, and cheaper than others. We've tried to set a price we thought was fair, and we continuously keep making the product better to make sure you'll get more bang for your buck.

Haha, we actually have a rule of never using the 'coming soon' phrase :) We've done it in the past, and it always looks bad if you don't deliver on the promise.

Thanks – I'm glad you like it!

The pricing model is a discussion in and of itself, but it boils down to us wanting Ding to be as simple and straightforward as possible. If you think the product is worth paying for after 45 free days, you either sign up for the Solo or the Team plan, and that's it. No annoying 'project limits' or anything like that.

There's a lot of theory on this subject matter, but we prefer to stick with what we think is a clean approach. At least for the time being.

Agreed. We're working on improving the promo page at the moment, and will make sure we include several screenshots.

Totally agree. We're working on a new promo page at the moment, and it'll show off the actual product (w/screenshots) way better than this one.

Thanks! Making native apps is a pretty costly thing for a small team like us, and to be honest, we don't have much experience with Android development. So I can't promise anything at the moment, but we'll make sure to keep improving the responsive web. It's definitely on the wish list though.

Noticed a lot of activity from this link just now – exciting to see you guys checking out our time tracking tool. We really appreciate feedback from the community, so don't hesitate to comment here if you have feature requests or thoughts on Ding.
