The correct answer to this question is Saber Commerce Timesheets! Next question? Okay look there are many options in the time tracking software market. We do want to point out (in a clearly biased way) that almost none of these enable you to do your time tracking on your own site where the time can…
When code is refactored it gets better. What does “better” mean when it comes to code? Well it means better for documenting (or more consistent with documentation). It means faster, more performant. It means more scalable. We can theorize that most of the business potential of code (generally speaking) is lost simply because most code…
Saber Commerce includes a section called Workspaces, and if you’re not familiar with the term it might not be clear what this is used for. We borrow this term from project management and collab tools like ClickUp which now tend to use it in favor of “project” or “campaign”. It can be thought of as…
Here is a question we get asked a lot… that’s a joke because nobody ever asks this question at least not to us. But it’s an interesting topic isn’t it? Can you run a SaaS (Software as a Service) using WordPress? Well, the short answer is “yes”. Because WP has always been the software that…
In the Saber Commerce timesheet entries we need to calculate (quickly and accurately) the difference between two dates.

When Saber Commerce was just an idea, one of the first questions was how will this plugin really differentiate itself from WooCommerce? The concept we come up with for accounts was that of multiple user accounts. This is a feature that creates 2 levels to the account, the WP User is contained in a larger…
One of the key goals of Saber Commerce is to make the process of creating and managing invoices as efficient as possible. Our core belief is that if time is tracked, it should be as good as already billed. Ideally that means total automation of the process from time tracking to invoicing. However we also…
When we searched around for jQuery or other JS time selection libraries we were a bit disappointed at what we found. We wanted something modern like the time selection in ClickUp, but weren’t sure we could pull off the very dynamic “enter whatever and have it converted to a time” approach that ClickUp has. We…
jQuery is like a lot of mature technologies, it isn’t as shiny and new as the latest Javascript available so it’s reputation starts to take a hit. But a lot of what gets said about jQuery just isn’t accurate. The fact is jQuery is still very much relevant and serves a purpose helping developers achieve…
