Interesting.. I think time tracking may be overkill for discourse and it’s not something we use either. There are other tools that are better at it and more flexible, and provide related functionality like invoicing etc. However, I could imagine something could be done with a plugin that lets you record time in a post in a certain syntax, which then displays it in some useful way in the topic title and in the post.

Whoa, that’s cool! I just updated and am happy to see this nifty new feature. It will help so much with followup. 🚀
