Yast offers ridiculously easy time tracking on the web
Tracking how much time you spend on a project is often a pain, and there are a lot of complex software solutions - both web-based and downloadable - that are more confusing than helpful. Yast, on the other hand is painfully, stupidly easy to use. Pick a project, click and drag on the timeline to indicate when you worked on it, and then enter a note about what you did. That's all. Seriously.
If you want to keep track of your projects in real-time, you can click the play button next to a project to start working, and then click stop when you're done. Two clicks? Even easier than a click and drag! Yast color-codes your projects and keeps track of your total time spent on them, automatically. You can zoom the timeline in and out to make selecting the right timeframe easier. Other than that, Yast has no settings to speak of. If you need anything more elaborate, you'll have to look elsewhere. If you want a bare-bones time tracker that just works, Yast is it.

Not really a big deal. You shouldn't have to click start/stop when managing time. That just wastes more time.

Not that I'm signing up for Yast soon, but I did actually take the time to look at it before commenting. There's no requirement to click start/stop, but it's an option if you want it. Basically it's a visual interface to time management. I like the idea and I think more companies should pioneer interface ideas like this.
