I just came across this time tracking system and I'm impressed with the team that created it. Of course, I love RubyTime because my team built it, but everyone has different needs and the freckle team seems to have built something very flexible and intuitive. What caught my eye was their manifesto. I have seen a lot of software built and can tell the difference between a project driven by a vision and one that is not. I have never seen such a clearly stated statement of design principle, though. This is lovely and I expect went a long way to inspire the development team and improve decision-making. I don't believe any software project leader could regret the time spent developing such a statement of principles with their development team.
