[...] how the response would be. But when Yast reached the blog-sites, Lifehacker, Downloadsquad, Webworkersdaily, Makeuseof and many more, we had more than enough beta-test users to give us feedback on our time [...]

@OTIS: We have also developed a time tracking software. Xpert-Timer needs to be installed and sits on your desktop. You could also use a U3-Stick to make it portable.
Anyways, if you are looking for a powerful alternative, check out http://www.xperttimer.com

We have a lot planned, a desktop version is down the line somewhere. But you can read more about what is coming, and give feedback here:

It gives us a good view of what to do in the future.

I *really* like the simplicity of it, very much. I did not notice any bugs, but I only tested the timer for 5 minutes without setting up an account.

I currently use another timer, yaTimer, which sits on my desktop. Are there any plans to create a version of Yast that can sit on the desktop and not require internet connectivity or use a browser and have low system resources when in use. I know, lot to ask for, but it’s one of my requirements when looking for a timer as I’m not always online when working (sometimes in remote areas without internet connectivity).

My only suggestion would be to have skin choices in the settings as while I like the blue, for everyday use I would probably go with something less bright. But the blue is not hard to read on my end. Tested it on an old 1024x monitor and a 1600x and was not hard to view imho.

Thanks you very much.

hehe, for the love of all that is holy :)

We´ll keep getting better, but please give us feedbacks on the bugs you are experiencing. Bug reports are vital for improvement. We DO read them all.

Not to sure about the color though, someone appears to like it, others don´t. Why don´t you send us a design. Maybe it will become our first alternative skin :) That goes out to all of you.

For the love of all that is holy, PLEASE change the colour scheme :)

I’ve had a few different tries with the site, and although it’s a lot quicker, still quite buggy. Great idea though – hope it keeps getting better.

Thanks for the review!

We, the Yast team, are constantly considering what to improve and what to do next. A review like this is a valuable source of information.

We have not figured out exactly what functionality and analysis that will be available from the reporting. However, our foundation to build these reports is good. Combining nested projects with sharing, powerful reports of your entire work staff will be easily available. If anyone got any ideas and good examples of reports we should look at, please send us an email.

We hope that yast.com has made your day just a bit better.
