Good plugin and great idea! Something very useful for those jobs that are not valued enough. As a suggestion for improvement, and something that I think would be necessary, is to add the option to include the panel with a shortcode on any page, then yes it would be five stars. Thanks for the developer for this tool.

Transparency for clients, and a great tool to keep track of time invested. So, if you’re like me, selling prepaid hours for services, this is a nifty tool!
