What was that hour-logging website with a baking themed name?

August 17, 2021 7:14 AM

About five years ago, the company I worked for used a time-logging site/app with a bakery themed name. The app's owners had a methodology of running a profitable web business that had a small base of paying customers. What was the app called?

I can't remember anything about the app (apart from the bakery-ish name) that distinguished it from other time-logging apps. (I'm not even 100% sure the name was baking related.)

The owners named their methodology something along the lines of 35/50 (x/y). The idea behind it being, with x number of customers paying a monthly subscription of y, the business becomes profitable.

Anyone know what I'm thinking of?

Not specifically baking but was it Harvest?

Best answer: Reminds me of Amy Hoy’s business writing; she did FreckleTime/Nokotime. Not baking related though.

Response by poster: Freckle! That's it.

I have no idea why my brain related the name to baking. (Freckle, sounds like Eccles… Ecclescakes?)

Response by poster: …and it's 30x500 not 35/50.

Nice! I know what you mean about that association with baking. My memory of the bright dots in the color scheme has me imagine a cute little conveyor belt of animated bouncing wedding cakes, or something.
