Ah, Collaborators Check this one off. Glad to see it off the ground 2 1/2 years on! How long did it take, comparatively, to get the original FreshBooks (Second Site) app built, from scratch to public launch? Just curious for comparison’s sake; you weren’t running a massively successful web business back then.

Not that we need a flurry of features. What we need is more wall demolition like this, merging the functionality of multiple accounts into a single one. Which is exactly what must be suggested for the next 2 1/2 year development project: The ability to invoice clients in multiple currencies from within a single account.

Hey Floggy – I’m pleased to report this is designed and half built. For uber secretive and ingenious reasons I won’t get into now, we have decided that we need to build expenses first. That’s coming early in the new year, this to follow shortly there after.

On behalf of all of us here at FB I’d like to extend our thanks to everyone for being patient on this one…usually we come through pretty quickly when we say we are going to do something. This time that has not been the case, but it’s coming and it’s going to be sweet.

How is this one playing out? Looks good on paper, looks *very* good on this blog, but 17 months later and we’re still pondering whether it’s better to wait for FreshBooks or build this kind of interporability with your API.

[...] Time tracking seems to be hot right now. As of several months ago (or so), I didn’t know of any legit standalone web based time trackers. Since then, I’ve reviewed 14 Dayz and Harvest, heard about FreshBooks investment into a more feature filled time tracking system, and now have come acrosss Toggl. Toggl is another online time tracking solution. [...]
