A productivity timer application built with Go, Gin, HTMX, Alpine.js, Templ, and MongoDB with OAuth authentication for tracking time spent on various tasks with custom tags and statistics.
Overview
Productivity Timer is a clean, server-rendered web application for tracking time spent on tasks. Built with Go and Gin on the backend, it uses HTMX for dynamic interactions without heavy JavaScript frameworks, Alpine.js for lightweight client-side state, and Templ for type-safe HTML templates.
The application features OAuth authentication (Google, GitHub) via Goth, persistent session management with MongoDB, and a comprehensive tagging system for organizing and filtering time entries. The statistics page provides insights into productivity patterns across different time periods.
Deployed on Railway with automatic builds, the application demonstrates modern server-side rendering patterns that deliver fast, accessible experiences while maintaining the developer ergonomics of a Go backend.
