It’s almost done (it would take one or two weeks to clean it up for FOSS release). It’s a CLI tool. It works great for my use case, but I’m wondering if there’s any interest in a tool like this.

Say you have a simple time-tracking tool that tracks what you do daily. The only problem is that there are gaps and whatnot, which might not look nice if you need to send it to someone else. This tool fixes pretty much all of that.

Main format is a JSON with a “description”, and either “duration” or a “start”/“end” pair. It supports the Timewarrior format out of the box (CLI Time tracking tool).

    “they” uses the same number of characters as “s/he” and flows more naturally

      I’m not sure why “they” isn’t used more often to refer to the unknown. This is what we were taught back home when we learned English.

        Mainly, this is because I was writing official docs, then took a quick Lemmy break, but my brain stayed “official” hahahahaha that’s all. ‘they’ should absolutely be used in this colloquial context.

          No judgment at all, I’m just wondering. :)

            No judgement felt lol

            Someone else called me out on it, too, and I decided to have fun with it instead of fixing it hahahaha if you can’t laugh at yourself

      Sure, sure. But s/he reading this might appreciate the use of special characters to improve his/her password entropy.
