Ninjakreborn Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I am looking for a very good (preferably free if possible, but I don't mind if it costs money if it's really good) application that will do a few things. I am wanting a system that has a collection of freelancer based tools. The main thing would be time tracking (with a timer) as well as managing clients, projects, and tasks. I would prefer something with invoicing. The closest thing I have found to what I was wanting was at http://www.timetask.com but they have too many limitations for the cheaper accounts. Anyone know of anything good? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/207851-question-regarding-freelancer-tools/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
radar Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 the best solution: build one, then sell it sounds like a good idea maybe i'll do that Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/207851-question-regarding-freelancer-tools/#findComment-1086572 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjakreborn Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 I could build one but I have a very severe lack of time (lot's of different things) and trying to take on more paying work. I am trying to find perhaps even open source, then I could modify it. That would work well.

radar Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Well give me some of the options and functionality you are looking for and I will take a look into building one that I can then resell...

Ninjakreborn Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 Well I use to like ActiveCollab but they headed into the opposite direction. Mostly just adding clients, projects, tasks, and time hours with a timer. Then being able to invoice them (optional). We could also team up on one if you wanted. It's definitely worth the idea.

radar Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Yeah Possibly. Definately worth bouncing some ideas around -- and if i/we can make it work -- could theoretically turn it into a service and charge for it.. muahahahaha!

Philip Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 ...I have a very severe lack of time (lot's of different things)... I play on average of about 50-60 hours per week when I am not working... Hmm... I wonder where you could pull more time from Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/207851-question-regarding-freelancer-tools/#findComment-1086627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
radar Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 For a new project there is always time.. I work full time as a lead web developer, but i also do a little freelance work, and am in the process of getting a web development agency off the ground... so yeah imagine my hours Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/207851-question-regarding-freelancer-tools/#findComment-1086636 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjakreborn Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 No the lack of time currently is coming from me looking for freelance projects. I currently have a small work load. Which means small income. So I was digging up more freelance work. The round of projects I hope to start because of that will keep me busy a few weeks. After that I would have the time to work on something. Perhaps I will PM you (radar) about it in about 2 weeks and maybe we can team up on something. Also that 50-60 hours per week are during personal times. I have about 16 hours Saturday and Sunday to relax or game or whatever. That's 32 hours already. I have about 5 hours per night (25 hours). So a total of about 60 hours almost. If I start on personal projects, I generally start taking up personal time for those.
