Just a recommendation: You should tell me why I'd want to your application instead of something like Freckle (<a href="http://letsfreckle.com" rel="nofollow">http://letsfreckle.com</a>, what I'm currently using). Freckle's design is gorgeous, the workflow and UX is retarded good (including the popup tracker) and multiple project handling is awesome. It's also cheaper. I think a small section with text including an answer to "Why is this better than X?" goes a long way to increment the signup rate.

This does seem interesting, but there is no tour available and no way to play around with it without signing up.

You've got a nice design, and the functionality might be about right for someone with limited requirements, but I think your price seems a bit high.<p>For example, FreeAgent Central provides all you do and much more for $20 per month<p><a href="http://www.freeagentcentral.com/pricing" rel="nofollow">http://www.freeagentcentral.com/pricing</a><p>If you want to just provide a very simple and easy time tracking system with limited invoicing that's great for people with limited needs, but I don't think you've quite hit the right price.<p>Also, you don't mention multi-currency, is this limited to just US $, with no support of sales taxes (either manually or automatically calculated), etc?

Looks nice, although there's nothing compelling enough to switch from my current (Billings).<p>If you're looking for feedback, you should allow invoices to be emailed from within the app. This workflow would drive me mad: download pdf -&#62; new email -&#62; type address &#38; subject -&#62; attach pdf -&#62; send.

A comparison chart of features against competition (both web and non) like Billings, Harvest, Ballpark, and other services (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_time_tracking_software" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_time_tracking_sof...</a>) would be useful.

Have bigger screenshots (more than 1) of your app, instead of selling me the macbook and iphone :-D

We've been working on Paydirt for about four months while juggling our regular consulting work. It's been in open beta since it was even close to MVP and we had useful feedback from the users so far.<p>Now we'd love the feedback of the HN community. Thanks!

Some interesting stats from this post so far. We've had 945 visits to the home page, 69 to the signup page, and 13 accounts created.<p>Quantitative data to back up a number of comments about our marketing site being lightweight!

We've been using Harvest for years for this. What is your advantage over them?
