What are Timebars Ltd.'s Products

The products are essentially web pages, storing project and resource business data in the web browser cache. They do not store user data on their servers unless the optional "Pubsets" feature is purchased. They provide an optional Cloud Data Analysis Dashboard, which can be populated by publishing to predefined Pubsets from their products. The dashboard includes pre-built graphs, line charts, pie charts, bubble charts, and tabular reports.

The web apps hide business rules complexity behind the web page, exposing a simple intuitive drag and drop user interface.

The products offer two modes: Kanban board mode or Timebars timescale mode. For example, Agilebars has a scheduling engine in Kanban mode that updates the Timescale automatically.

The tools perfectly synchronize with spreadsheet programs to move data in and out of the web browser cache in a secure, clean, and simple drag and drop manner. They do not install cookies on the user's device, even after login2.

Trusted Technology

Timebars Ltd. provides a cloud-based set of management tools and utilities, including a number of scheduling engines and a dashboard sharing service. It features a three tier subscription plan for each product based on data limitations, the amount of data stored and not functionality. Our web-based products are operating system agnostic and can be used on any computer with a modern web browser, including large touch screens, desktop touch screens, smartphones and tablets.

HTML5 CSS Javascript

The Timebars Resource Scheduler product is a web page based on HTML5, CSS and Javascript. In December 2017, HTML5.2 specification was released as a W3C Recommendation of which we adopted. The Timescales are drawn with HTML Canvas 2D Context. The Data entered, imported and exported is stored inside the browser in IndexedDB (Google Docs uses IndexedDB).

IndexedDB

IndexedDB is a JavaScript application programming interface provided by modern web browsers for managing a NoSQL database of JSON objects. It is a standard maintained by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Source:Wikipedia

Single-page application

A single-page application (SPA) is a web application or website that interacts with the user by dynamically rewriting the current web page with new data from the web server. Source: Wikipedia. But but for Timebars we dynamically rewrite the current web page (Timescaled page/Kanban page) from the IndexedDB resulting in sub millisecond fast transitions that make our products feel instant.

NextJS ReactJS

The Sales site and Dashboard is built upon NextJS and ReactJS which is free and open-source front-end JavaScript libraries for building powerful client and server side applications.

Stripe

We integrate with Strip Inc. for payment processing. The company primarily offers payment processing software and application programming interfaces (APIs) for e-commerce websites and mobile applications.In April 2018, the company released anti-fraud tools, branded "Radar", that block fraudulent transactions.

Strapi

Strapi is a backend REST API service that sits on top of Postgres DB. Only login requests and Dashboard publishing is dependent upon Strapi. Strapi is the leading open-source headless CMS. It is 100% JavaScript.
