I get what you mean. It could be made into a server client architecture. Will put on roadmap :)

Mmmh. Oki :). Maybe in the future then. :). I'm running authentik and could create simple user managment through basic auth or header "auth". Then your app could store the data per user as files on my server.

Yes, but it could get wiped easily :) I will definitely look into making a browser version tho

Mmmh isn't there a local storage feature in the browser.

It actually is. But currently it works on a local data file, which is not possible if it’s in browser.

Thanks!

I don't really need this myself, but it looks super nice. I'll bookmark in case I ever need something like this.

Do to it being written in typescript is it possible to host it through a webserver?

My girlfriend say also thank you. She says it should be possible to edit the time after the fact. :)

💚💯

Gotcha. Will add this feature next!

I understand, but for me it feels way more satisfiyng to press the stop button :)

Not yet, but definitely a useful feature to add; will put on the roadmap. A few years back I had a toy time tracker that had this feature, but I usually forget to “stop” it so it frequently ended up with huge long time sessions because I didn’t turn it off 😭

Do any of your time tracker have like a play button? :)

Like i choose an item to track and it will add time until i stop.

I’ve also built a time manager in the past at https://tommyx12.github.io/VIR/ maybe some will find that helpful too :)

Thank you both. Following your feedback, and after additional discussions with many people, I've decided to drop the "~Q" abbreviation, and just go with "Unquery".

The documentation, and any future reference to the language, would reflect this change.

I also created jello, which is like jq but uses python syntax.

https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jello

I've been so fed up with jq's annoying syntax that I began thinking about developing something that can perform json operations in familiar syntax such as javascript but I ran into fx (https://github.com/antonmedv/fx) and it's been pretty great actually.

Minor comments regarding the name (as I can't really comment on the rest :-D)

> ~Q

I read that as: "more-or-less Q"/"almost Q"/"approximately Q", but that might be due to my math classes from 25 years ago.

~ is not particularly handy to type on non-US keyboards (using ALT+126 here on Windows, or: AltGr+4, then spacebar... and this is on a keyboard with "Ñ"). It might hinder a bit the ability to search for ~Q.

"unQ" is less ambiguous, at least for me (and my poorly self-taught "English" :-D).

Thank you for your thoughtful comments!

The name has gone through several changes. I started with Q!, and then changed it to not-Q (similar to NoSQL), but since !Q looks confusing, I settled with ~Q, which looks better typographically. ~Q/Unquery is the language (used both in XCiteDB and unq), and unq is the name of the command-line tool. If enough people don't like the ~Q name, I may be convinced to drop it :-)

I got another request for examples comparing unquery and jq syntax. That's definitely something I'm going to work on.

And finally, I'm in the process of revamping the XCiteDB website and replacing it with a much better website with more technical content and links.

I don't immediately see the advantages over something like jq from just reading the readme. Maybe include a definitive example of how you would do something in jq and how you would do that same thing better in unq.

I am not so keen on programs having multiple names, especially if one is unpronounceable. I would definitely lean into one of unq, unquery, or ~q. My recommendation is unq because it is short to type and already what you seem to have chosen as the name for the executable. I highly recommend dropping the ~q branding completely. In windows ~ denotes a hidden file so it might be hidden queue.

In unix (both mac and linux) ~ denotes the "home" directory /home/<user>/ leading to the idea of "home q". This could also lead to a lot of confusion when trying to run a command such as ~q -f ~/query.unq ~/mydata.json.

In arithmetic ~ can mean "about" or "close to".

And in some Logical expressions, which I think is close to the way you want it to be used, it means not. But even in that context I would still feel compelled to pronounce it not queue.

I am not sure if you are also the developer of xcitedb but if you are I would definitely recommend having a link to click for people interested in the DB from the marketing page (https://xcitedb.com/). If it is an open source database then a link to the github page, if it is a closed source database then a link to contact sales.

Also the marking page (https://xcitedb.com/) references the Q!query language. Which is maybe this ~q language? If so then I recommend unifying the branding of this as well.

That said, other then being a programmer, I am not your target audience so take everything I said with a grain of salt.

Authelia, maybe, but although it has much of the same functionality it is not as rounded, polished or slick imho. I started with Authelia and moved to Authentik.

One of the major plus points for Authentik IMHO is that it has a built in dashboard that only shows what a user has access to. This removes the need to have a separate one and kind of makes it more than just an SSO. To me I view it almost as more of a portal.

Odd. The requirements on the docker-compose installation page says 2GB.

I guess I'll try installing it and see what's what. Thanks.

Mmmmh. Doing all of things it does no. But for me right now it uses ~ 700MB https://i.imgur.com/bPZNuPN.png But thats just 3 users and not in use right now. (idle)

Authelia, maybe.
