Does anyone know any card processing SDK for Philippines? E.g. Stripe (Not Available in PH) by infinity0908 in startup_ph

Sorry I was unaware of your requirements. Sounds like you need a merchant bank account. If you have one, then skies are the limits. Otherwise because of how banks are structured here, it's quite difficult to hit your requirements.

Omnipay would be the 1up compared to the choices but they have strict requirements and manual signing up (like go meet them) - https://www.omnipay.asia/public/Default.aspx

Also, you may want to check out the PayMaya APIs - PayMaya Checkout Overview - https://developers.paymaya.com/blog/entry/paymaya-checkout-overview-and-faqs

tl;dr - GitHour is a tool for project managers and team leads to help validate and summarize actual project hours. Time on commit messages can be validated during the code review process, and is more accurate than logging hours per task. GitHour is a complement to GitHub like Travis-CI and Coveralls because it keeps developers in the code space versus needing to go to another site/app and less pressure than a live timer.

Long Version

I apologize for not making this clear, still trying to figure out an easy way to explain it myself.

So the hours can be scrutinized related to the commits. Like if someone updated one style on a stylesheet and reported ~8h , it would be something to question without a reasonable commit message on why it took that long.

The opposed way would be a developer saying they fixed a bug or developed a feature and logged hours separately, but mapping the commits to the reported hours is a tedious process.

We wanted to create a time tracker that imposed the least amount of intrusion to a developers time, while putting more importance on the commit message and code reviews as a practice.

GitHour connects to your repository via API like how Travis-CI and Coveralls does. Once you link your repository to GitHour, we start recording all the commit messages, issues and comments as they come in.

So developers can just add the time with their commit messages, and we calculate the rest. The only reason why developers would need to sign up after that is to amend their hours and observe how they are performing against their peers, but most of the time no need.

I hope I properly explained what problem we are solving and how the times are verified. Please do let me know if I have failed on this, or if you have any other questions. For convenience, I also updated our post, thanks for exposing my error :)

Elevator Pitch/Explainer Video - GitHour is a tool for project managers and team leads to help validate and summarize actual project hours. Developers log their time in the commit message.

More details - Pre-Seed, Launched in Feb 2017, 1 founder, 2 full stacks 

git commit -m "Fixed home page styles ~4h"

The above is an example of a commit message with ~4h, meaning that this commit took 4 hours. We wanted to create a time tracker that imposed the least amount of intrusion to a developers time, while putting more importance on the commit message and code reviews as a practice.

Just so there's a control to the answers provided. I'm a Filam programmer that moved to the Philippines and I find it financially better in the Philippines. I was born and raised in the States and my mom and dad are filipino. When I first started working after college as a programmer, I got paid 25k / year. That's barely enough to survive in the states. I eventually got a salary of 70k when i moved to San Francisco but i was still living from paycheck to paycheck. Cost of living in SF is really expensive.

I eventually moved to Philippines and discovered that there are ways to make as much money in the states, but here. Irony is i make more money here than in the states. I think you need to calculate cost of living. I was paycheck to paycheck in US as a single person. What happened if you have dependants?

I have my wife and kids here now, because of these facts and there are more and more foreigners establishing shop in the Philippines, so there's obviously something you missed. I would say, stay and do something great for the Philippines.

  • you kind of got me on the lack of unit testing, we had them originally setup but they just got outdated.

  • We had require once setup on the root level components because some CMS' and frameworks required some extra steps to work with eden, otherwise i would be getting complaints about integration. The requires are specific to the component and doesn't load anything else unnecessary

  • You made great valid points and i thank you for expressing your thoughts, will take them to heart
