Let’s take a look back at 2018 from a WakaTime perspective: First, some WakaTime milestones and then a yearly overview of all WakaTime users’ programming metrics! 🎉
Growth & milestones

Features released in 2018
Organizations
We redesigned team dashboards to match actual company structures. With organizations each team has their own dashboard. Members of the dashboard see each other’s projects, languages, and other coding stats. Organizations also get detailed audit logs, fine-grained permissions, and the ability to have multiple billing managers.
Shareable and inverseable goals
Personal goals are now shareable with other users. Using the goal settings menu, enter a WakaTime username or email to send invitations for viewing your goals. Also, goals can now be inversed. For example, a goal to code less time on weekends.
Tracking compile times
Your WakaTime dashboard now shows your time spent coding vs time spent waiting for builds to compile. Available now for Xcode and coming to other IDEs in the future.
