Improvements across the board

Amy HoyAmy Hoy

We’ve been working behind the scene on improvements, although we haven’t been crowing about ’em too much. I aim to fix that.

### Solo Plan

Chief among the obvious improvements, we added a Solo plan: 1 person with up to 10 projects, for $12 a month.

It seems like the number one feedback item we got from our launch: a 5-person plan is just too much for many of you.

I’ll be totally honest: we were surprised. We were expecting that the majority of interest would be from small teams.

But we can admit when we’re wrong!

### Sexier Reports

We didn’t use to display the unbillable time on the reports—which made no sense whatsoever. Now: it’s displayed, it’s broken out, we gave each section a nice color coded heading, and you can toggle the display of billable and unbillable hours as you like.

### Print Styles

We drastically cleaned up the way that reports look when printed. We’re not done with reports & data portability yet, of course,

### Cleaner Projects

We put the projects listing page through a couple design revisions.

### Deactivating People & Projects

Features we originally shipped without (not expecting anything like the kind of initial traffic we received), but of course, necessary ones.

### More increment options

We switched from a plain old text field to a list of radio buttons (still not ideal, but getting there).

We got feedback from people who had different tracking increment needs than us—for example, folks in the law profession who bill in 6 minute increments. No problem!

h2. And more…

This is just the short list. And we’ve got a ton more tweaks, improvements, sexifications and other things that we haven’t been able to ship yet.

Including our work on a beta API, coming soon.
