ProjectTime Tracker Desktop App

Time Tracker Desktop App

Unhappy with the quality of various time trackers and finding a constant situation of each different app having some factors I love, and others I hate. I'm setting out to make one that works for exactly what I need it for: Tracking time across different clients and tasks that allows easy export for invoicing.

Of course, why do any side project without using the most bleeding edge technologies? So this is made with Tauri + Solidjs with TypeScript and Rust.

Tauri uses the devices native webview (as opposed to bundling a browser) allowing for smaller application size, rendering a frontend in the webview and connecting it to a runtime powered by Rust to handle interfacing with the OS and file systems.

Here I use Solidjs to power the front end, for it's many benefits and performance characteristics, and because it's the hot thing (at the time of writing).

PackagePreact Heroicons

The beautiful Heroicons all bundled up as Preact components. Tree-shakable and Typed for use in any Preact project.

This project was a necessity, as the official Heroicons React components are not compatible with Preact typings, and of course also require preact-compat which just won't do.
