Before step 1
you will need
- an always-on box if you want the timer off your laptop
- PDF generation
- Jira API credentials if you want worklog sync
- backups you actually test
Delivery order
Scaffold the smallest runnable application and document its commands.
done whenThe project starts from a documented command in a clean checkout.
Implement the primary data model and core workflow.
done whenThe main object can be created, read and changed end to end.
Add validation, safe failure states, and persistence.
done whenBad input is refused with a readable message and nothing is left corrupted.
Cover the critical path with automated tests.
done whenThe highest-risk behavior fails the suite when it breaks.
Exercise a clean install from the README and fix every missing step.
done whenA fresh clone reaches the first successful workflow using only the README.
That is the whole plan for Tallymeter. What it deliberately does not cover is below · check the gaps before you call it a replacement.
- two-way Jira Cloud worklog sync that reconciles ticket by ticket
- a hosted MCP server and scoped API tokens agents can call from anywhere, with per-agent attribution
- invoice numbering, VAT and bank details that survive an accountant handoff
- shared team workspaces and per-member unbilled totals
- managed hosting, nightly backups and a phone-sized UI for starting a timer away from your desk
