Thanks, glad you like the updates. thanks for HN users for the constructive feedback

Yes we have an API on our roadmap but no exact date of release yet I'm afraid. Still fixing some fundamentals :-) I'm keen to keep abreast of your tool too.

No problem. It's great to get your opinion from a brand new user's perspective. We don't want to build a product we think people will want. Instead we want to help businesses be more profitable and improve their processes. To do this we really need to userstand our markets and messages. Our plan is to review all the feedback, implement and then post on Hacker News when the next iteration that addresses some of the comments is available.

Thanks for the feedback. We've had a few comments about the video and it's currently under review. I think a series of screencasts with voiceover would help.

It's interesting that you were attracted by its simplicity headline, but that you feel it's not that simple to enter time. We definitely need to address this if it could be streamlined further.

Agreed that mobile support is essential and we are working on resolving this. Low overhead is key.

We are learning a hell of a lot as a result of the feedback on Hacker News and you raise some key fundamentals areas to review.

Thanks, I really appreciate you taking the time to let us know your thoughts.

Just checked out your app. Really cool app! I like the fact that you can enter statuses from a variety of routes and the video explains it well.

Here's a recent interview that attempts to explain where we are coming from: http://doeswhat.com/2013/01/17/interview-with-paul-rhodes-lo...

Huge thanks so far to everyone who has commented. It's really early days and its clear we need to work on the mobile support, pricing plans and most importantly the marketing aspects of the product and website. Really appreciate the feedback.

Yep, realised that after I posted, the quality full screen is poor. We do need to work on clearly explaining what it is.

Interesting, do you think it would be better to replace autocomplete with a standard drop down for the project selector?

Agreed, a couple of people have commented about how to make the pricing plans more obvious and clearer

Agreed, good point

Obviously, if there are more users we won't be calling it solo :-)

Thanks, we are currently reviewing our plans, nothing is concrete at the moment and feedback is always appreciated. So potentially we could have a free plan that also includes more users.

Toggl is a great tool

Thanks for the feedback. We definitely need to work on a clearer marketing message that focuses on the benefits. We use the data from the time logged to assess how accurate our estimates were against actual time to deliver a project so that we improve future quotes for projects. We realised that in addition to quoting time spent developing the ability to review time spent on planning, in meetings and fixing bugs is invaluable information.

This might help explain it a bit more to get people started, it's on the homepage but can't help to link it: http://vimeo.com/ggapps/loggable-getstarted

What do you think of the pricing and plan options?

thanks, much appreciated. We'll get this done once the server cools down. A deployment would kill it :-)

...and we're back :-)

Currently struggling to handle the traffic from Hacker News - please bear with us people

Yep, we need to work on mobile support - thanks for the heads up

It's early days so really appreciate the feedback. Perhaps we need a 'bespoke' talk to us option for bigger than Sumo. Also fees are monthly.

Nice in depth article - good stuff!

Thanks for the comments. This is something we are looking into addressing based on your feedback.

Good question, Freshbooks is a complete accounting solution. Loggable is focussed on time analysis enabling you to retrospectively manage your time and improve. We use a variety of other software such as Basecamp and Xero for Project Management and Accountancy and wanted a simple tool to manage our time spent on development projects.
