* `1h30m ago`

* `two hours thirty minutes ago`
|

|
||||
## Why did you write this instead of improving timetrap?
|
||||
|
||||
* timetrap is hard to install, hard to keep updated (because of ruby). Once this
|
||||
tools is finished you can get (or build) a binary, put it somewhere, and it
|
||||
will just work forever in that machine.
|
||||
* timetrap is slow (no way around it, because of ruby), some commands take up to
|
||||
a second. Tiempo always feels snappy.
|
||||
* needed major refactor to fix the timezone problem (in a language I'm not
|
||||
proficient with). I was aware of this problem and designed tiempo to store
|
||||
timestamps in UTC while at the same time being able to work with a database
|
||||
made by timetrap without messing up.
|
||||
|
||||
### Other advantages
|
||||
|
||||
* Columns are always aligned
|
||||
* Fixed some input inconsistencies
|
||||
* cli interface is much better (ask -h for any command)
|
||||
* man page (to do)
