[idea] Open source waka time server implementation #7

Open at15 opened 7 years ago

https://wakatime.com can be used to track how you spend your time for coding, however it only have three week history for free user. The server API is quite simple https://wakatime.com/developers. The storage should be a RDBMS + Time series database. Like MySQL + InfluxDB. If search is needed, things like Elasticsearch can be introduced. Front end is mainly focus on dashboard, echart is enough. A rough plan could be like following

[ ] choose the language and framework. I prefer language that does not require runtime or the runtime is easy to install on all platforms, so you can run the server locally, i.e. Golang, NodeJS, Python
[ ] choose the database
[ ] implement basic API
[ ] fork wakatime editor plugins to support pointing to custom server
[ ] allow team share and leaderboard
[ ] integration with GitLab

It could also be used for things like homework statistics collection, track project progress etc.

Good idea, but I'm afraid that there is no one interested in it now. 🤔 Because you know, this idea may be a little complicated, and I think there are little people to build a service like that. I would choose to pay for wakatime.

@gaocegege I don't think you can afford a bunch of people using waka time, and you can do some hook and mining on data easily if you have full control of the statistics.

I chose to pay for wakatime .... until I finished building a workable TSDB

I think I can have try to do something similar when building reika https://github.com/at15/reika

@at15 looking forward

Hope you could implement it :)

@gaocegege where there is hope, there is disappointment 😄

进度如何了，婶婶

@gaocegege 为了性能，我准备直接上 https://github.com/at15/gegecece 了，你怕不怕

gaoce鸽鸽进度如何了鸭

It seems that @at15 is busy with his another wheel, this idea can be assigned to others.
