Let's discover what TimeMate is? 🤔

I'm a software engineer and a tech consultant in various companies. My daily job is to design, discuss and build web projects and micro-service architectures. However, there is one thing I don't really like - once a month I need to sit for the whole day and start preparing reports, invoices, bills, sending it over. Also, every day I need to report "timings" in a dedicated customer's software, e.g. Jira. To help with that task I have multiple paid tools and still spend 1 whole day a month with it:

• Jira, Toggle, Invoicing software, Business account software, Slack, Email.

This is a demo project to automate daily routines of consultancy agent (developer).

• track time over different platform, which you're comfortable with.
• synchronize tracked time entries with a customer's software, e.g. Jira, YouTrack.
• create regular (monthly, weekly) time reports in a PDF.
• create regular invoices (monthly, weekly) in a PDF.
• send reports/invoices over various of channels, e.g. slack, email.
• reconcline invoices with a business account to mark that money is received and invoice is paid.
• tax reporting - once a year we need to sign and send special report to the tax services.

As a first thing, I've crafted a cli application, which can be executed on a developer's computer and in the background do a very simple thing:

• fetch data from Toggle
• synchronize it with Jira.
