When we can code in English, now we can code in group chats.

Maybe it’s the future. Where I can join to coding/spec driven channels to observe or help.

I would do this - coding/spec driven in public. Hope it will be the future.

It would allow also non devs to join.

I tracked 100% of my waking hours in 2024—every meeting, work hour, workout, and moment with family

Good points thanks. Will rad about TK solver.

The question is about the use case and how much technical people are.

Excel format is bad because it’s not clear simple text in the raw text format. Also for simple local database with not that much data.

CSV with quirks could be edited with any text editor, put into LLM, shared, GIT history edits. That’s also the benefits of local notes in filesystem in MD format (oobsidian).

Problem with plain CSV is that I can’t do any formatting even the simplest or make simple formulas. I could make calculations using DuckDB or something but it have friction.

Ask HN: CSV with Formulas

krudnicki — Wed, 01 Jan 2025 17:41:25 +0000

I'm thinking about creating library to render and manipulte CSV.

But it should have ability to use formulas, like =SUM(A:A) or =SUM(A1:A-CURRENT-1)

And optionall formating maybe at the end of the cell {cell-css: {color: red, font-size: 28px}} or {row-css: {color: red, font-size: 28px}} (CSS attributes)

Why?

I want to create local personal databases. But a little more powerful than plain CSV.

Text can be shared.

Do you have proposition for syntax or architecture?

I am the owner of TimeCamp app that can track usage of desktop apps.

75% of office workers that use Google Chrome use Notepad++ on Windows.

Probably using CSV data format which is great. Can be used for example in Obsidian.

I created https://www.timecamp.com that can track processes, window titles and url (free). Those informations presented visually can help make better timesheets :)

Hi, thanks for comments. In fact invoicing will be free. But we want to build another set of features around this like powerfull time tracking, and charging that. So it will be like freemium model.

This is our second post in a series of posts. We want to share those lessons in further posts, because we feel that for this moment we don’t have enough learned to write about this.

Interesting case study. I think we will write in couple of months how it ended in TimeCamp. Did you have clear goal and saw how this statistics was used and if it was usefull?
