Agora vs Busy

Build an Amazon Affiliates store on Shopify

Agora is a Shopify app that makes it easy to add Amazon Affiliate products to your Shopify store. Products imported into your store via Agora are imported as native Shopify products, but instead of checking out like normal, customers are redirected to the Amazon product with your Associate ID, so you collect your affiliate commission when a customer makes a purchase. This is a great place to start for someone interested in starting an eCommerce store, as you can learn the ropes without having to purchase and manage stock. As you learn the skills needed to run an online store, the fact that you're already on Shopify means it's super simple to eventually switch to your very own products!

Intuitive time tracking - visualized on a horizontal timeline. In a familiar interface most people know how to use - a calendar.

Busy delivers intuitive time tracking - visualized on a horizontal timeline. Your timeline is presented in a familiar interface most people know how to use - a calendar. It works as a calendar but is unlike any calendar.

Our mobile app for iOS gives you a glance at your timeline for the day. Log hours, edit entries and see what’s going on, wherever you are.

Our perspective:

Most people don't like tracking time, and most time tracking tools won't score more than 3 if you were to rate them on a scale from 1-10. The existing tools are usually complicated to use and not very sexy. On a mission to break 3, we decided to build Busy.

First, we looked at how time is best visualized. In books time if often visualized on a horizontal timeline, taking you from A to B, making it easy to pin events.

Second, we looked on how we could best implement the concept of a timeline in a familiar interface most people know how to use. Most people know how to use a calendar, and by rotating a traditional calendar sideways we ended up with a timeline.

The result is Busy. It works as a calendar but is unlike any calendar.
