My Hours vs NocoBase: at a glance
What is My Hours?
My Hours is building out reporting and invoicing on a steady, unglamorous release cadence
My Hours alternates feature releases with fix-only patches on a roughly two-week rhythm. The 9.8.0 release added an Attendance report covering target versus actual hours, overtime, breaks and paid time off, put budget spent and remaining onto the dashboard and detailed reports, and linked invoices back to a pre-filtered report view.
What is NocoBase?
Both NocoBase branches spend the same day on the same workflow fixes.
Development stays split across a 2.3 beta line and a 3.0 alpha line, and both spent 31 August on the same workflow rollup: a composite index on job status and ID for pending-job recovery, a fix for schedule workflows running once more after endsOn, and a mobile pass giving workflow task detail a full-width drawer and a responsive task centre. The 3.0 alpha adds what the maintenance branch does not take, including client-v2 association field rendering, duplicate submit actions in public forms, GigaChat startup on iOS 15.6 and earlier, and a knowledge-base access check that wrongly told AI employees they had no access for root users. Neither release carries a feature section.
My Hours vs NocoBase: editorial side-by-side
My Hours
2.5PM
My Hours is building out reporting and invoicing on a steady, unglamorous release cadence
◆ Current state
My Hours alternates feature releases with fix-only patches on a roughly two-week rhythm. The 9.8.0 release added an Attendance report covering target versus actual hours, overtime, breaks and paid time off, put budget spent and remaining onto the dashboard and detailed reports, and linked invoices back to a pre-filtered report view.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is thickening around reporting and billing rather than time capture itself, which is already solved. Recent releases consistently connect two existing surfaces — invoice to report, budget to dashboard — instead of adding standalone features.
◆ Prediction
Expect attendance and budget data to converge into a single manager view, since both now exist as reports but are read separately.
NocoBase
7.5PM
Both NocoBase branches spend the same day on the same workflow fixes.
◆ Current state
Development stays split across a 2.3 beta line and a 3.0 alpha line, and both spent 31 August on the same workflow rollup: a composite index on job status and ID for pending-job recovery, a fix for schedule workflows running once more after endsOn, and a mobile pass giving workflow task detail a full-width drawer and a responsive task centre. The 3.0 alpha adds what the maintenance branch does not take, including client-v2 association field rendering, duplicate submit actions in public forms, GigaChat startup on iOS 15.6 and earlier, and a knowledge-base access check that wrongly told AI employees they had no access for root users. Neither release carries a feature section.
◆ Where it's heading
The two branches now ship within hours of each other with overlapping content, which makes 2.3 less a frozen maintenance line than a trailing mirror of the alpha. Workflow is absorbing most of the attention this cycle: approvals, scheduling, notification recipients and job recovery all moved together, and the repeated variable parsing failed fixes point at one shared user-selector defect being pulled out rather than patched per node. The AI employee, multi-space and knowledge-base work stays exclusive to 3.0, so the branches keep diverging on capability while converging on fixes.
◆ Prediction
Expect 2.3 to keep taking the workflow and approval fixes within hours of each alpha while the AI employee surfaces stay 3.0-only. The mobile drawer and narrow-viewport work landing on both branches suggests the next alpha continues the responsive pass into the remaining workflow and approval configuration screens.
