Screenshot Monitor — monitoring remote developers



Sometimes we hire remote workers. Sometimes we work with someone remotely. I want to provide a service designed to increase the level of trust in these relations.

If you offer your services as an employee, you can offer to potential employers to track time spent on each task. And to see screenshots of your monitor, taken automatically.

If you hire and want in detail to see what your money is going, you can ask the employee to show the process of their work. It's just.

To do this, we created Screenshot Monitor. It consists of a website and the client software. The employee starts the agent software, click Start, and she begins to record the time, making periodic snapshots. Exactly as long as he did not press Stop. At the same time, the employer sees the recorded time and screenshots of your employee — nothing more.

It is important that the entire process is transparent to the employee — he sees all taken screenshots and can delete those that got private information. Screenshot Monitor is not spyware, is a tool tracking working time and screenshots.

How it looks

    the
  1. the Tenant is registered and sends an invitation to one or more workers:


    2. the
  2. In the process, the app periodically takes screenshots, saves time and comments:


    3. the
  3. and the employee and employer see the summary of your work:


    4. the
  4. And details all captured screen shots and comments on the clock (the employee can delete some screenshots):



How much

We offer paid and free, which differ in the average number of snapshots per hour. Within 30 days after registration you have free access to the maximum plan. And then, if you like, you can choose your regular plan, or switch to simple free.

Where else can you use it?

Office Screenshot Monitor can be used with the same success, and remotely, we use it ourselves. It can also be used for self-tracking yourself to see which takes your own time is always helpful.

conclusion

Screenshot Monitor provides an additional opportunity to demonstrate openness in relations of the employee and the employer. For a conscientious worker this will be just the tool automates the time tracking. And the employer will receive additional confidence in the worker.

I hope for valuable feedback and ideas from users of Habra! What are you missing in Screenshot Monitor? That can be done easier?

Briefly on how to make your Qt geoservice plugin

+ =? The next step after GPS module , became its practical application in my project. Maybe someone this post will be more interesting. First, some source data: Required: the Offline mapping service the Integration with QML Features: the the libosmscout — library providing the OSM data in the wrapper with the friendly API the Qt5Location with dev branch summary of the previous 160 series In Qt since time immemorial was a wonderful beam-process QtMobility and he was so wonderful that he lived, he lived, and bent. Yes, of course, he is still here, and even used my N9 and someone's Blackberry, but the fact that Digia will no longer support this API at all. But in Digia are working not fools, they gradually started to pull the pieces QtMobility in Qt5. One such component is a QtLocation. In Qt 5.3, you can see only a piece QtLocation, QtPositioning which refers to Digia. I must say nice stuff, gave her the NMEA from the local socket, and she'

Database replication PostgreSQL-based SymmetricDS

In this article I will tell how to configure database replication for PostgreSQL. For the experiments we use a distribution of Linux CentOS 5.3, although this is not essential. we will use a version of PostgreSQL 8.4.7 and SymmetricDS-2.2.2. What is replication? In fact, it is a mechanism to automatically synchronize the contents of databases running on different servers. As a result of replication of these databases contain absolutely identical data. This is necessary for example in order to provide fault tolerance system (in the case of the fall of the first database server, the work enters the second), or to implement load balancing, different customers can serve different server. For replication you need at least two database servers, so prepare two identical servers with a PostgreSQL database on each. The first is the IP address 10.0.2.20, the second — 10.0.2.21, both gateway 10.0.2.2. You can do a virtual machine like VirtualBox to create two virtual servers and run

Yandex.Widget + adjustIFrameHeight + MooTools

Изображение
Many people know about this cool thing Yandex.Widget . To make your widget be easy enough to write server-side widget and connect it to Yandex.Widget via iframe . To control the widget Yandex offers APIs in a JS object widget , particularly with the help of it you can change the height of the frame under dynamic content (adjustIFrameHeight), it allows to get rid of the vertical scroll bar. But this API has a significant drawback — it is written using jQuery , which deprives developers of widgets for MooTools to use the Widget API. Below I will show how quite simple it is possible to bypass the Widget API to control the height of the frame using MooTools on the side of the widget. As we know from the contents of the frame it is impossible to access the object frame itself, if they are on different domains. To bypass this limitation, a proxy Widget API uses an iframe using hash (the content after # in the src of the frame) which provides for the exchange of comma
