01 / OVERVIEW

What exists.

Time Tracker imports timesheet data and turns it into insights through charts, breakdowns, and trend visualizations.

02 / PROBLEM + CONSTRAINT

Where it resisted.

Raw timesheet data is noisy and hard to interpret. The tool needs to surface patterns without requiring the user to build their own analysis.

03 / INTERVENTION

What I changed.

Built a React + Vite application with Tailwind styling that ingests timesheet data and presents it through interactive visualizations.

DIFFICULT DECISION

The obvious implementation was not the product.

Keep the import flexible and the visualization focused on actionable insights rather than exhaustive reporting.

Current proof

03
  1. Data import and parsing pipeline implemented.
  2. Interactive chart visualizations with breakdowns.
  3. React + TypeScript + Tailwind + Vite stack.
LESSONS

What this build changed.

The value of time tracking is not in recording hours but in revealing where they actually go.
