16h 6m 30s

Updated Project: Started project but never finished last year, same concept except with ideas actually implemented this time
Re-implementation of WakaTime but with new/better features and for FREE!

This project uses AI

ChatGPT was used for debugging, and for the creation of utils used/repetitive work (ex Datepicker.process.jsx, which would calculate a lot of boring date ranges based off a specific input)
Some StackOverflow used (snippets credited)

It may not look like much has changed but.. trust me!
I have fully integrated a way to refresh your token if it gets expired!!
BUT this brought me to a dilemma: Do I trust my users to have both of their refresh and access tokens saved locally in cookies? No. I don’t.
This meant transitioning over to something called HTTP-cookies, which is basically a cookie sent over the net that is “more secure” because java script cant access it. Cool right? But then it took four hours..
Worth it though to see it all come together at the end.
Next is finally adding the new graphs.
