Cushion

✏️ New year, new homepage destroytoday.com/blog/new-year-…

I made another video about @cushionapp progress, but trying out CleanShot and YouTube instead of Loom this time. I walked through a handful of new components, like quantity input, currency input, and line items. Motivation sponsored by @davegaeddert 👍 youtube.com/watch?v=R1ClsC…

Aaaaaaand we’re back. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

👋 There’s going to be a little bit of planned downtime today to upgrade the database. Hopefully you’re not working the weekend, but if you are, it’ll be a good time to take a break and go for a walk. 😊

Ok! All done—the database upgrade is complete. 😌 Let me know if anyone comes across anything out of the ordinary!

👋 There might be a few minutes of downtime tonight or Monday night for a database upgrade. Bear with me if you sign in and there’s a maintenance message. Love ya’ll. 🫶

Upgrade complete! So far, so good. 👍

👋 Cushion’s going to be getting a pretty significant upgrade to its stack shortly, so please let me know if anything seems out of the ordinary. Thaaanks!

@spanglykoala Yep! In various parts of the app (either in the … or on the client’s page) there should be an “archive” button

👋 How do you estimate time for projects?

Oh fun! The time I tracked yesterday on @cushionapp has 🍔 vibes.

Phew. Finally finished estimated workloads in @cushionapp’s new timeline beta. Still a work-in-progress, but damn it feels good to have it out there. …especially proud of the scaling transitions between zoom levels 💅

Spent *so* much time getting the details right for tooltips on @cushionapp’s new timeline: ✅ clearly highlights hovered date range ✅ colored based on effort or project ✅ smoothly glides to maintain readability ✅ date range based on zoom level ✅ swiping maintains tooltip

✏️ Total tracked time in the schedule timeline cushionapp.com/journal/total-… #buildinpublic

@walidvb Lawyers. Apparently some round to the nearest 6 min (which is 1/10 an hour)

super curious about @cushionapp 's rationale for 6 minutes?

@spanglykoala That’s an interesting scenario. Not yet, but one “hack” would be to create a project called “The project (2023)” and assign the estimate to that, so you can at least visualize it, then swap it over in the next year. I’d like to eventually have date-specific estimates.

✏️ New post: Duplicating an invoice cushionapp.com/journal/duplic…

Wow! Super impressed that @cushionapp created a new feature based on my feedback right away (the ability to duplicate invoices). Highly recommend this app to any #freelancers who wants a nice one-stop shop for tracking time, managing invoices, and forecasting!
