A very simple interface to Google Sheets, that allows you to track time. Every time when you work on something - you can log time here, and edit it in Google Sheets later.

How?

The entire time tracking "database" has only three columns:

Start time | End time | What is done?

I'm using the simplest possible UI to enter this information on the website, and send this data to Google Sheets via Google Sheets API.

NOTE: Once time.anvaka.com is loaded, all communication happens directly between your browser and Google Sheets. So, your privacy (and mine) is kept intact

I crafted UI based on my own usage patterns. The Start time of a new record is always set to the End time of the last record. So I can immediately log what I've done since last entry (see GIF file above).

Why?

I was just curios. I had this idea of Google Sheets as a Database for a while, and wanted to have a tool to track time that is tailored to my needs. So it was a good excuse to play with it, and have one more tool in my professional toolset :).

After all, it took only ~10.5 hours to build this website.

I liked the API and hope you will find this project helpful for your learning and inspiration!
