Build TimeTac
KINDAreplaces $7.2/mosaves $86.4/yrback to the verdict
Before step 1
you will need
- Node 20+
- somewhere to run it that your team can reach, plus HTTPS if it leaves your laptop
- backups you actually test, because these records are the evidence
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 TimeTac. What it deliberately does not cover is below · check the gaps before you call it a replacement.
- Legally defensible records: no tamper-evident log, no retention guarantees, nothing an inspector or works council will nod at
- Native iOS and Android apps with GPS, offline clock-in and geofencing for people who are not at a desk
- Hardware terminals and badge or fingerprint clock-in for shop floors
- Payroll, ERP and HR integrations plus the export formats your bookkeeper already imports without complaining
- Someone else owning uptime, overtime rule edge cases and the shift and break math for each country
