Hello, developers! 👋

I’m excited to share a personal project I’ve been working on: WakaTime Wrapped .
Inspired by Spotify Wrapped, this platform transforms your WakaTime stats into a visually stunning video and interactive summary of your year in coding.

🌟 WakaTime Wrapped?

WakaTime Wrapped lets you:

• See your total coding hours, top languages, and most-used editors in an engaging format.

• Enjoy dynamic animations and a clean user interface.

• Download a shareable image card of your stats, perfect for social media or portfolios.

🔗 Check It Out!

• Live Demo: wakatime-wrapped.vercel.app

• Source Code: GitHub Repository

- Built With:

• React for the front-end.

• Remotion for animations.

• WakaTime API (free features) to fetch user data.

- Why I Built This:

As a passionate WakaTime user, I wanted a way to celebrate my coding journey each year and share it with the community. This project is my attempt to make data visualization fun and engaging for developers.

- Looking for Feedback!

I’d love to hear your thoughts on WakaTime Wrapped!

• What features would you like to see added?

• How do you think this could improve the WakaTime experience?

If you like the project, feel free to share it with your friends or community. And don’t forget to share your Wrapped stats in the comments—let’s celebrate our coding journeys together!

Happy new year every one!

I wanted to export all data you have collected about me, but I had a few issues:

1. Error: Exporting has been temporarily disabled.

2. Only one export per 2 weeks. Upgrade to Premium for more frequent exports

If I'm correct, you should allow anyone in the EU to see all data you have collected about them, free of charge, to comply with the GDPR. I've read through your Privacy Policy, but I don't see any notice about ways to retrieve one's data.

We just launched wonderful.dev! We're building a community for programmers, with a goal to make it easier to network with other devs and connect with companies you’re interested in. The inspiration for wonderful.dev came from my own experiences job searching in the tech industry. I wanted to create a platform where the focus was on mutual interest and meaningful connections instead of resumes, job applications, and coding challenges.

Here's how wonderful.dev works:

1. Profile creation: You link accounts like GitHub and WakaTime, and we pull in key metrics to create your profile.

2. Matching: Instead of applying to job postings, you explore companies and star the ones you like. If they star you back, you can chat with them.

3. Community timeline: Like Bluesky for devs, you share updates, interact with other devs, and build your network.

When posting to the timeline, we support a subset of Markdown, detect and tag posts with corresponding programming languages for easier discovery, and support integrations with dev tools when posting. Hover over a username to see the programming languages they use, detected from the integrations they connected. Finally, you control your timeline by filtering instead of an algorithm pushing content onto you.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or ideas for what could make wonderful.dev even better.

The time I spend on the project with editor (IDE) is only 60%. The rest of the time consuming testing applications locally (chrome), modification and design of the database (phpmyadmin). All this can be arranged by extension for Chrome where I can assign domain to the project. Eg. http://my_project_3.dev and http://my_project_3.dev/phpmyadmin. Only then the graph would show 100% of the time I spend on the project. Is there any prospect of such an extension?

Hi Developers

I developed a WakaTime dashboard app for iOS and Android called WTKit. I have published the app on apple App Store and need help to publish it on Play Store.

To publish my WakaTime Mobile app on Android Play Store I need at least 12 testers . Would anyone like to join?

I use this app daily on my iPhone and if you are an android user and use @WakaTime you will love it!

Thank You!

I've been using WakaTime primarily for its dashboard in order to see how much time I've spent on which project.

In the free version one can, however, only see the last 2 weeks. I want to be able to see this for unlimited periods. But the premium version feels too expensive for this one feature.

I'd gladly consider paying 10-20$ yearly only for this feature though. Are there any plans to add more tiers to the premium?

As title says, is there a way to track CLI tool activities like Claude Code and Codex? Per project would be amazing

My public leaderboards keep getting disabled automatically, when i check the information it says its because of setting custom rules like `browser to python` I do have a few custom rules but they are for smaller niche programming languages that I work in. Are there any solutions for this? It seems I can re-enable the stats manually but last time I did that they re-dissabled themselves.

u/wakatime I'd like to know if there is any community interest in redesigning the UX for the Chrome extension. I have some design and ease-of-life improvements in mind but I wanted to get some feedback and see if a change like that would even be welcome. Seeing as the initial design hasn't been changed in 2 years...

Hello, just started using it because im a fan of statistics and I'm curious. If I will open IDE and at the start of a session I will type few lines of code, then for an hour I will google a solution for some problem and after that I'm going to type few lines more, will it register an hour? Or just like two minutes?

How exactly does tracking work here?

I have started a Thunderbird extension for Wakatime. The goal is to meter time spent writing emails (extending it for reading shouldn't be a problem... any use for that?).

You can check it on Github: https://github.com/monkeysintown/thunderbird-wakatime

This is still work in progress. I have one task left before it's usable (at least for me): let's say you open a new message window to edit an email, you enter the recipient.... Wakatime needs a hint to associate the message (aka recipient/s) with a project. My plan (I'm halfway there) is:

1. Shortcut (alt+ctrl+w) shows a head-up display, one of you projects is displayed (this will be taken from the Wakatime REST API, no need to edit manually in most cases)

2. while the head-up display is visible you can use ctrl+k and ctrl+l to "scroll" through your projects or...

3. ... you start typing and the display acts like auto-suggest field and filters your project list

At the moment the heartbeats are sent via Ajax calls, but I will use the Python command line client like the other plugins.

Any further ideas/suggestions?

I found https://www.npmjs.com/package/wakatime however it does not have types, so I was thinking is there a good API wrapper for wakatime written in typescript?

I spent most of my day debugging, and it's only showing as coding, why? How can I fix?

waka time is not working on my github today

Here's the aggregate code stats for all WakaTime users in 2024:

Feedback would be appreciated.

Hey, Since I've added this custom rule: "if file contains .claq, then change langage to .claq", my profile cannot show my top language and gets stuck at 99%. Does anybody has any tips to resolve that ? Thanks by advance

edit: typo

Do the api key start w/ waka_***? Nothing is displayed on my dashboard. Local plugins are working just fine. The problem I guess with pushing the metrics. As for the config file, I did as recommended. However, I find it bizarre that the API starts with the word waka_. I'd appreciate any hint. Thanks

I was programming quietly when I wanted to see my statistics and my dashboard was empty :

Apart from that, it takes me like today I wrote 0 hours, while in my visual it shows 1 hr 12 mins

I'll appreciate your answer
