I’m making a cost-related plugin and need some ideas to see if i can further develop any easy features > [@Calculate the cost based on the time spent](https://kanboard.discourse.group/t/calculate-the-cost-based-on-the-time-spent/1216): > > In the application preferences, it is possible to define a currency. It is even possible to define an exchange rate between currencies. But I have not found how to apply an hourly rate, for example.
