Store individual time sessions instead of only summed values

[vis-joel]

🤔 Problem to solve

First of all, I really like the extension, and the current v2 preview looks great.

One thing I noticed: currently, time entries seem to be stored as a single summed value in localStorage. This works fine in general, but becomes tricky when I forget to stop a timer, since I then have to estimate afterwards when I last interacted with it.

💡 Proposed solution

Would it be possible to store each start/stop as a separate session (similar to Clockify)?

Idea:

• keep the current grouped/summed view as default
• additionally store individual sessions (start + stop timestamps)
• show these sessions in a task detail view

This would make it much easier to review and correct time entries if a timer was left running.

Not sure how big of a change this would be for v2, but I thought I’d share the idea and maybe it can help in the future solving other problems 🙂

Thank you for your request.

I've thought about that too, and I think it would be a good idea to store every session. That could also serve as the foundation for further features.

I'm not sure if I should include this in version 2.0.0. I hadn't actually planned on adding any new “features.” But maybe it would make sense to include it after all, since it could require some big internal changes. Otherwise, I'll add it to the next feature release v2.1.0.

That sounds great to me.

I think storing every session would be a solid foundation for v2, especially since it would make correcting forgotten timers much easier later on. Even if it does not make it into 2.0.0, I would definitely be happy to see it in 2.1.0.

I hope it does not add too much extra work on your side.

Thanks for considering it and for the great work on the extension.
