While Harvest provides powerful reports sometimes nothing beats having all of your data in a spreadsheet.  Unfortunately, the defacto spreadsheet tool (Excel) has some tricky file formats, making programatic export more difficult than it should be. We recently made improvements to how we handle Excel exports in Harvest, and I’d like to share a few [...]

For you developers out there, Harvest user Zach Moazeni has released a Harvested, which is a new Ruby API wrapper.
We’re delighted to see the creative and imaginative ways our customers are making Harvest work for them, please let us know if you have created a Harvest integration [...]

Harvest was built from the ground up with Ruby on Rails, a powerful framework for building web apps. Rails has been part of daily activity here since back when we worked on client projects right alongside of Harvest. As an OSS project, Rails needs contributions of all sorts to continue evolving. The latest program to [...]

We are pretty active on Twitter. It’s a great way to get quick messages out as we release new features. We love to hear what you have to say about Harvest, good or bad.
It would not be particularly efficient for everyone on the team to watch the flow of tweets about Harvest. So, for those [...]

Apparently it’s a browser bug specific to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer. All you need to do is Google “IE select box problem” and you’ll [...]

Just over a week ago I attended FutureRuby in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. From the single track of talks to the significant-other program to the unique post-conference parties, I have never participated in a better conference. I was especially pleased that four talks were being presented by Harvest customers.

Harvest is built on the Ruby on Rails web framework, as such we constantly monitor for security issues with the framework and the language itself. A Ruby Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability was announced almost 24 hours ago. The security of Harvest accounts is our top priority. All Harvest services were upgraded quickly to close [...]
