Show HN: Made it so time tracking isn’t the worst part of your day

https://height.app/product/time-tracking

Many of our users at Height work for development and design agencies where building timesheets is a weekly responsibility — so we built a native timer to make it easy for them to track time on their work (tasks) and then sync to their invoicing/billing app. Currently we have two integrations to Toggl and Harvest, but would be interested to hear where else are people tracking time?Quick...

Re:Show HN: Automations for Tasks – Height.app on Monday December 05, 2022 @02:23PM (#33870506)
It's actually not based on other tools, it's automating tasks within Height.app.

Does that make sense?

Loved using Interval in the past few months at height.app. I highly recommend it if you don't want to bother building UI within your internal admin pages.

You turn around and see Father Féval standing behind you. He looks very old and frail. He doesn't even have any teeth left.

> kill him

You quickly shoot Father Féval dead, but he still manages to dodge your bullets. You run over to him and punch him several times before he falls down dead.

It's nice! Quick feedback for UX improvement: let the user upload a file first, detect the extension, then ask what file type to convert to.
They could use `pushState` to change the query without reloading the page?

Some of them are created using After Effects, HTML/CSS and iOS code. Was this your question?

Thanks for the feedback! Totally on point!

Re:Online Porn Could Be the Next Big Privacy Scandal on Tuesday February 24, 2015 @03:23AM (#9099402)
You couldn't be more wrong about this.

- You need to convince only one browser. People that care about privacy will use that browser.

- You don't need licensing, they still use the OS fonts. They just limit the fonts available.

- You don't need to convince web developers because they already use these fonts and only these fonts. Who's using Papyrus?

- 1997 websites are going to break. Again, new websites use only a set of system fonts or fancy web fonts.

Re:Online Porn Could Be the Next Big Privacy Scandal on Tuesday February 24, 2015 @01:54AM (#9099173)
Interesting.

Maybe browsers shouldn't have access to system fonts except a specific set. Websites can't assume fancy fonts are installed anyway, I don't think it would be a problem?

Re:Online Porn Could Be the Next Big Privacy Scandal on Tuesday February 24, 2015 @01:43AM (#9099144)
It always confused me of why this hasn't been fixed yet.

It seems like most of the uniqueness is from the list of fonts and plugins.

Couldn't browsers limit that by asking user permission before providing it? (Fair question and I'm waiting to be wrong)

Or should you ask him first if he's aware of it?...
