Busy vs Startup Stash

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.

A curated directory of 400 resources & tools for startups

Startup Stash is a curated directory of resources and tools to help you build your startup”. Startup Stash includes 400 products in 40 categories, like “Idea Generation”, “Beta & Early users”, Marketing”, “Raising Capital” and “Customer support”. Each category consists of 10 handpicker resources and tools, all with their own detail page that displays some info about the product.

Each category will never have more than 10 products, this way we want to keep the amount of information manageable. We’ve seen there’s a need for people involved with startups to find resources that can help them go forward, but most sites/lists are pretty overwhelming and keep adding more and more products. This website is on the “discovery” side, because there are so many other (overwhelming) sites where you can get reviews etc. (like http://g2crowd.com with 23.000+ software products), Startup Stash should be the first thing you look at.
