Moonlighter Delighter

Updated and released the revised version of the marketing site. Designed to be more streamlined and focused on what Moonlighter Delighter does well. Also, add a bunch of niceties like better social share images and improved accessibility of the page.

It took a long time to move from idea to product ready for the public. I actually created MD for my own personal use. I used it for 6 months and then realized that I didn't have that much more work to do to make it a product that others could use. I set about finishing up those final steps and then turned Moonlighter Delighter on for the public in November of 2018.

I tried so many different time tracking apps, but they were all too complex for my needs. I was moonlighting for a small number of clients that would need help with tiny projects. An hour here; 20 minutes there. In the moment, it hardly seemed worth billing a client for 20 minutes. But, it also seemed unfair to bill the client a minimum rate. Instead, I'd collect loads of these small blocks of time for a single invoice. I, however, was terrible at remembering to do this and would essentially lose time because I couldn't find all of the time entries for a client.

The pain of trying to find these "lost hours" was the spark of the idea that would become Moonlighter Delighter. Moonlighter Delighter keeps track of all those hours and does a great job at highlighting when you should be billing. That time is represented as a dollar amount on your dashboard, so you know when you should be billing your clients.
