Caturday. Autumn sunbeams. Prime spotting conditions. https://t.co/gLAULr744a

Friday wins: what did you ship, finish or finally fix this week? Tiny wins count too.

[Dries Peeters @Dries_P]

Hot take: your hourly rate is fiction until you track the non-billable hours. Emails, quotes, admin. TimeTracker splits billable vs non-billable so you see the real number. https://t.co/kaOas04Hgb

Seam(De)Stress is one month old this week. Question for small shop owners: what's the ONE admin task you'd delete from your week if you could? The answers decide what I build next. https://t.co/CmnmEeBjHs

[Dries Peeters @Dries_P]

Rate your local cat's territory: A) one couch B) the whole block C) the entire neighborhood knows their name. Then pin them: https://t.co/gLAULr744a

Type /tt in Slack and a timer starts. TimeTracker also connects to GitHub and Google Calendar, so hours get logged where the work already happens. Open source: https://t.co/7JhEXd8DtS

Small Seam(De)Stress feature, big peace of mind: photo of the garment at intake, straight from the phone. 'That stain was already there' now comes with proof. https://t.co/CmnmEeBjHs

Which camp are you in?

A) Timer running live while I work
B) Reconstruct the day from memory at 5pm
C) Time tracking? In this economy?

Reply with a letter.

Hidden gem in TimeTracker: the 'My productivity' page. Streaks, 14-day hours chart, focus stats, 12-week heatmap, all from hours you already track. Self-hosted, free: https://t.co/U8W23eWRRR

[Dries Peeters @Dries_P]

Autumn starts tomorrow. Shorter days, same to-do list. What's one thing you're cutting from your workload this season? Meetings, a side project, that one client?

[Dries Peeters @Dries_P]

Sunday-evening move: put next week on a Kanban board, then track time straight on the tasks. Board = timesheet = budget. TimeTracker demo, 2 min, no signup: https://t.co/kaOas04Hgb

Caturday. The map misses your cat specifically 🐾 https://t.co/gLAULr744a

[Dries Peeters @Dries_P]

Pilot hunt week 2: a few alterations shops are in conversation (🙏), room for 2-3 more. Free forever, I'll help with setup, your feedback = the roadmap. Know a shop drowning in paper tickets? https://t.co/CmnmEeBjHs

[Dries Peeters @Dries_P]

The 5-minute challenge: clone TimeTracker, docker compose up, first timer running. Time yourself. Longer than making coffee? File an issue and I'll personally fix the docs. https://t.co/7JhEXd8DtS

What's the weirdest place you've ever spotted a cat? Asking for cartographic purposes 🐈 https://t.co/gLAULr744a

[Dries Peeters @Dries_P]

@kayforkind Well, still we need to get it out there, if you do know some seamstresses that can use it, just let them know

[Dries Peeters @Dries_P]

One week since I open-sourced Seam(De)Stress, my order management tool for alterations shops. Honest report: seamstresses don't browse GitHub 😄 Marketing software to non-devs is a whole new skill tree. Repo: https://t.co/CmnmEeBjHs

[Dries Peeters @Dries_P]

@z80srl Well, it's the PostgeSQL one, we do support so many other database engines

[Dries Peeters @Dries_P]

Two truths and a lie about TimeTracker: 1) Timers survive closing your laptop 2) It sends Peppol e-invoices 3) It requires PostgreSQL. Guess the lie — I'll confirm tomorrow 👇

[Dries Peeters @Dries_P]

@boardyai Will do!

[Dries Peeters @Dries_P]

Looking for pilot shops 🧵 Seam(De)Stress = free, open-source order management for alterations shops. I want 3-5 real shops using it and telling me what sucks. Know a seamstress still on paper tickets? Intro me. https://t.co/CmnmEeBjHs

[Dries Peeters @Dries_P]

Seam(De)Stress comes with ~30 alterations pre-priced and pre-timed: hem, zipper, take-in... Intake is just tapping services — price & workload calculate themselves. Small software for real shops: https://t.co/CmnmEeBjHs
