I remember that the previous version can be accessed normally.

Can you be more specific about the issue? Neither GitHub nor activitywatch.net is blocked in China.

[Benjamin-Watson0]

The current situation is that the official website can be opened, but the specific time cannot be checked. I think it is a network problem. Everything is normal after using VPN. In addition, github is also in a difficult state of access in China. Although it is not blocked, we often cannot access it and need VPN.
Activitywatch.net can be accessed normally.
http://localhost:5600/#/home It can be accessed normally.
http://localhost:5600/#/timeline Cannot accesshttps://user-images.
I didn't test other related items.

I believe your issue is related to #773.

For me, switching to the rust server resolves the issue.

[Benjamin-Watson0]

Is that what you're talking about? After I switched to it, the problem remained unsolved.

@Benjamin-Watson0, as @dingwen07 correctly mentioned, the problem with not loading the Timeline tab of ActivityWatch web interface, is the same problem as discussed in #773.

The issue has been already fixed in the master branch, but it hasn’t been released yet. Although, if you are in a rush, you can download the nightly build, as I mentioned in #773 (comment).

---

ActivityWatch runs on your computer, and the URL you are visiting – http://localhost:5600 – is local, so your country cannot block it. If you want to know more about what is the localhost, feel free to read this article – https://whatismyipaddress.com/localhost.

Thank you for understanding. I look forward to the release of the new version.
