Display minutes spent today on current domain

This is just a feature suggestion, but I personally think it helps with productivity if there is a way see at a glance how much time one has already spent on a specific website. For example https://github.com/PaulMorris/mind-the-time has this feature. Since different users might expect something different it should be optional and maybe configurable (although I'm not sure which level of configurability would make sense here).

Thanks for the tip. Haven't seen mind-the-time before but it certainly looks like it could be a good source of inspiration to us.

Regarding displaying minutes spent on the current domain that's already possible in the web-ui, so I assume it's the ability to get a quick glance of it which is your suggestion. This is certainly possible to do, but the implementation would be quite different from how mind-the-time does it as currently aw-watcher-web is just a dumb client which reports the usage to aw-server and doesn't actually track anything itself, so it would have to either become more smart or send a request to the aw-server about how much time has currently been spent at the current webpage.

I'm not sure if there is much to take from there other than this feature (I just found it while looking for a time tracker yesterday), but I see this would be a non-trivial addition then and it's definitely something for a wishlist. Maybe your later approach is better for this feature since it would avoid potential data inconsistency pitfalls, but then the question would be how often to send this request.

This is what their UI looks like:
