You can just tell a product that is built in rails
Seriously.
I'm no developer (duh). I don't know the first thing about what goes on behind the scenes.
I just know when I start using an application and it 'flows', it must be built in rails. And this one is. I'm actually loving recording our time spent with clients. Not something I thought I would ever say. What is it?
Now...if only they could integrate emailed or SMS'd time tracking (like what 37Signals does for their To Do list in Backpack), that would be super sweet. Mozes?

Funny enough-- I was indirectly involved with the development of Sutori... and the next post is about Harvest, one of the competitors to Tick which is an application I was more directly involved in writing.
I'm far from saying Harvest isn't cool, but checkout the Tick beta if you want to see some more "flow".
Tick integrates directly with basecamp and reports time back to it.
Anyhow, enjoy!

SMS time tracking is indeed something we've been thinking about... I'll leave it at that for now!
"I just know when I start using an application and it 'flows', it must be built in rails."
Luckily you started the post by saying you're not a developer else I could see a flame war ensuing.
I personally don't agree with the statement...mostly because I don't really understand what it means.
Seriously, what does it mean for a product to "flow"? How can we compare the flow of various applications?
How does the flow of a 37Signals products better/worse than that of GMail or Flickr? What about the flow of your favourite desktop mac application?
I'm all for touchy-feely ways of describing products but "must" is a powerful word that at least warrents some backing up.
But we all know marketers/business folk like to make bland statement that make them think they know what they're talking about ;)
[ahem: AJAX, Web 2.0, XML, Web Services, Death of Browsers hehe...]
[And yes, I'm a developer]
That's the most obtuse thing I've heard in awhile.
