;; ## Comparisons
;; ### timeclock.el
;; * Stores data in an s-expression format rather than a line-based one
;; * Supports attaching tags and arbitrary key-values to time intervals
;; * Has commands to shows useful summaries
;; * Has a more useful implementation of hooks (see [Hooks](#Hooks))
;; Compared to timeclock.el, Chronometrist
;; * stores data in an s-expression format rather than a line-based one
;; * supports attaching tags and arbitrary key-values to time intervals
;; * has commands to shows useful summaries
;; * has more hooks
;; ### Org time tracking
;; * Chronometrist is tailored towards long-term, rarely-changing, everyday tasks, rather than transient ones. You might think of it as a program to help balance your day, or to help you form habits.
;; Chronometrist and Org time tracking seem to be equivalent in terms of capabilities, approaching the same ends through different means.
;; * Chronometrist doesn't have a mode line indicator at the moment. (planned)
;; * Chronometrist doesn't have Org's sophisticated querying facilities. (an SQLite backend is planned)
;; * Org does so many things that keybindings seem to necessarily get longer. Chronometrist has far fewer commands than Org, so most of the keybindings are single keys, without modifiers.
;; * Chronometrist's UI makes keybindings discoverable - they are displayed in the buffers themselves.
;; * Chronometrist's UI is cleaner, since the storage is separate from the display. It doesn't show tasks as trees like Org, but it uses tags and key-values to achieve that. Additionally, navigating a flat list takes fewer user operations than navigating a tree.
;; * Chronometrist data is just s-expressions (plists), and may be easier to parse than a complex text format with numerous use-cases.
