Hello HN: Thank you for the very useful feedback during the first Show HN of Timestrap. I have/will read all the comments and take suggestions seriously for the development of Timestrap.

Want to get up and running quickly?

We create a default username and password with superuser access to get you started, please change it via the admin panel:

• Username: admin
• Password: changeme123

I've setup an instance on Heroku of Timestrap that resets every 10 minutes if you want to play with it. The username and password are set to the same as the Quickstart ones. If someone messes up the fun for everyone wait till the next reset or set the project up yourself.

Your system needs to have Python with virtualenv and pip installed. If you are using Ubuntu you also need to install build-essential and on Mac Xcode. If you do not want to use postgres or have a problem building because of psycopg2 remove that from your requirements.txt before pip install. In some cases you may also need to install python-dev on Ubuntu.

virtualenv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

I'm trying to push for 100% code coverage on this project! If you want to add or change something and test that everything still works you can do so easily with:

python manage.py test

If you push code to our primary repository we test for style adherance and code coverage. If you get a failed build to either of these we won't accept your code till it's fixed.

Always make sure you are in the virtual environment before running additional commands by first running source .venv/bin/activate. If you have already done this from the previous step and have not left the environment continue on!

If you have not yet migrated your database do so by running:

python manage.py migrate

You'll need to create your first user too:

python manage.py createsuperuser

After this you can run Timestrap and access it from your browser at localhost:8000.

python manage.py runserver

Want to see how Timestrap would look after being used a while? Run fake to generate some data. Don't run this on a production database or you'll have to do a lot of clean up.

python manage.py fake
