@adingbatponder @codemonkeymike Easily! 😉
`hellishly educational` is indeed a core #nix / #NixOS learning experience 😅 But I'm mostly past that pain now. #annextimelog says building this flake with all the customisations and auto-updating etc. took me ~35h in total. Still kinda many hours, but considering I'll reduce maintenance time drastically with this new system compared to the ever-breaking imperative distros, I consider it worth it.
I *finally* taught #annextimelog¹ to properly count total time without double-counting overlaps. ✨
Now a `atl ls work last week` shows the expected summed time. 🥳
One of annextimelog's selling points is that it can record arbitrarily many parallel things (something many other time tracker refuse to do), so this was a long-missing feature.
If you're unaware, annextimelog is my #cli time tracker that uses #gitAnnex as backend.
1½ years later, ⏱️ #annextimelog¹ exists and I use it daily to track things I do/work. Even simultaneous things, one of the key features I was missing in most other #FOSS #plainText time trackers such as #timewarrior or 
#hledger.
Yesterday, @matrss announced an #annextimelog or rather #gitAnnex plugin² to auto-export working hours from atl to the time management portal of @fzj. Wild! 😀

Quite helpful (e.g. for weekly recap meetings) to say
> atl list work last week
And it gives you a summary of what topics you worked on last week. 👍
#TIL that Python's .rstrip(chars) removes any trailing given chars, not the exact given string.
Caused some weird duration displays in #annextimelog, now fixed:

#annextimelog is now in 📦 #nixpkgs unstable:
Thanks @musicmatze for packaging it! 🥳
annextimelog is my #gitAnnex-backed cli time tracker with versatile metadata support, tracking of simultaneous events and painless syncing:
@fabian I love it. Especially for parsing user input or handling API responses it's amazing. I used it first for parsing the #annextimelog cli.
🚀 #annextimelog v0.13 brings stopping and continuing events similar to #timewarrior
> atl tr work # clock in
> atl stop work at 12 # clock out (time is optional)
> atl cont work 30min ago # clock in again
Todo handling has been improved as well:
> atl tr meeting 2h todo='send mail' # record todo with event
> atl mod meeting today set todo+='pay bills' # add todo after the fact
> atl mod todo set todo-=mail # remove todo containing 'mail'
And I really love how #annextimelog works perfectly on my #SailfishOS phone (with #nix installed however, it needs #Python >=3.10), so I can log time, check in and out and list todos from whereever I am, even when offline, thanks to @joeyh's #gitAnnex as a backend. So far git annex has been wonderful to work with as a backend. It provides conflict-free syncing, which is amazing in this case. We'll see if it gets too slow at some point for this use case (atl is quite slow already).
