Personally, I'd show 24 hours if I could fit it on the screen (which I think I could, just barely).

Great stuff, Tijl. For my part, I don't use goals actively enough for this exact kind of heatmap to tell me much - I really treat bubbletimer as more "emergent", and rarely tell it in advance how much of something I intend to do. I love the heatmap idea, though, so I wonder if there are any other dimensions to map besides adherence to goals. I'll give that some thought.

The former ... more bubbles on the screen. I haven't had to scroll for bubble timer yet. I don't really need more bubbles, but I guess it's partly an aesthetic thing (I'd usually rather see lots of bubbles than big goal columns) and partly that I do like seeing the visual trends of my whole day at once.

Yeah, I think that's right - notes per bubble or per hour would be overkill. It'd be perfect if there was some way to add one note per arbitrary length of contiguous bubbles (like, if you could draw a selection rectangle around 5 bubbles and notate that). But I can't see any way to do that in the UI, and furthermore, that's too obsessive; per day and per activity is just right.

Collapsable Goal Columns

I like the new weekly goals, but I'd like to request a small feature addition related to this ... I'd love to be able to collapse each (or all) of the right 3 columns. Like, say, when you mouseover the column header cell with "Weekly Goal" in it, it shows a little tiny right arrow, and if you click it, it hides (i.e. minimizes) that column down to just a little left arrow in a very narrow space. I can see this working for all 3 columns together, or each one individually. This would leave more room for bubbles, and while that's not a huge deal, I think that's how I'd prefer to look at it most of the time.

Provide Undo

I'd love an "undo" button. For some reason, when I come back and click a circle sometimes, it thinks I'm holding shift and overwrites a whole bunch of stuff I'd already bubbled that now I can't remember what it was. So I'd either like to fix that or provide an undo function.

Make a task consistency site

A sister site to Bubble Timer that behaves like Sciral Consistency would be awesome. The idea is that you bubble on a daily basis, and each task has a frequency in days (e.g. you only need to water the cactus once every two weeks, and doing it more won't help anything). See http://sciral.com/consistency/ for more.

Cool - looks great!

Personally, I think a web one could be just as good as a full app (which would likely take a lot longer to create). Some iPhone web apps can be totally killer. For example, try using the google reader iPhone version - it's lightning fast and gives you pretty much all the functionality of a native app, minus stuff like using the accelerometers, etc. For bubbletimer, all it really needs to do is give you a fast-loading space-constrained UI for filling in bubbles - it doesn't need to let you add new categories, drag & drop, get reports, etc. It's basically just so you can continue to fill in time when you're away from the computer. Make sense?

A comment on the question "What one thing would you add?" in Snooty Monkey:

SomeBug - a potentially better way to do it is to write an excel spreadsheet that uses the exported data from bubbletimer (in its regular format) to populate another sheet. Then you can just copy and paste the values from that sheet (which is in the format you need) into your company-provided form. Excel is cool that way. – ivarley, on December 02, 2008 22:50

iPhone version

I'd love a mobile version of this I could use on my iPhone. I tried to use it as-is, and the page loaded, but when I clicked (i.e. touched) a cell to mark down time, nothing happened. But generally, a stripped-down input-only iphone interface would be killer. I'd even pay more for that.

Thought of another useful feature. I'm tracking my sleep on here, and it takes forever to individually click all the little boxes for 8 hours worth. How about a shift-click to fill in all since the last click? Click and drag would be good too but might be hard with the dragging you already have.

Hey, cool! That was fast. Thanks! I do like the sound you used, but it'd be a nice feature (eventually) to let the user set the sound. – ivarley, on November 27, 2008 05:18

I second the audio alert. Without that I totally forget to use it. – ivarley, on November 23, 2008 18:20
