Hocusfocus is a tool I made to track how long you spend on certain tasks (Working, Studying, Wasting time).

It was initially written in Swift, but was rewritten in Go a while ago. Now, I've rewritten it in Rust.

What made you rewrite it twice?

It was rewritten in Go at the time I was switching to NixOS, because the Nix package for Swift is outdated and broken. I rewrote it in Rust because I've been wanting to learn Rust and also fun :P
