It depends on how their owners protect them. Switching IPs via proxies and changing user agents are well-known and relatively simple methods—essentially pretending to be different clients. However, nowadays, services like Cloudflare often render these techniques obsolete, forcing you to mimic human behavior instead. I don’t have expertise in that area.


Just finished writing a more fare benchmark a few days ago. It's utilizing all cores, have DB pools of the same capacity for all tested languages, uses asyncpg in the async Python version, etc.

Long story short - asyncio is twice as fast... (results are at the bottom of the readme).


Yes, it is.


The difference is Freelancy has native versions for OS X, Windows and Linux. Many people still prefer desktop apps to web services, because they give them the feeling ‘it's my own’ and works in any internet conditions, also it could be more convenient to work with a desktop app rather than with a tab in a browser.


Toggl also has native apps - https://www.toggl.com/tour/desktop


Toggl has native desktop apps also.


Yes, it has, but they keep focus on a web version, so Freelancy can be an option for someone. :)


Not yet. How would you like this invoices to look?


The invoices that http://invoiceable.co generates work well for me. But that tool doesn't handle the actual time tracking, just the invoices.


Looks like I definitely should think about a screencast! :)


That would definitely be very nice. Again, I can't emphasize how much I like the minimalist approach to your page. A quick little screencast video would be a clear call to action. Best of luck, looks like a well thought out product!


Right now you can export only hours and money in CSV, though I'm planning to add more detailed reports and exports.

I don't really get you on your own data store—the app syncs with remote CouchDB, do you mean the ability to specify your own remote URL to sync?


Exporting the details likely seems to be required for many users as customers/clients might want to see the details.

With regards to data storage: the idea is to connect a remote data store like tent.io oder remotestorage.io


What details exactly do you mean?


No, it's not automatic. You just start a task, work on it and stop it when you're done. How an automatic solution that you use actually works? Does it track usage time for all apps?


Alright. After reading it again I guess I see how I misunderstood that.

I use wakatime.com, it has got plugins for Sublime/Xcode/many-more/etc that tracks time.


As far as I know, PayPal is only solution for global payouts. Stripe makes steps to internationalization, but country list is still small.


Thank you, will think on each point.
