We even taught several of our devs Ruby on Rails over the years to write various plugins. One of them quit to go try and work at Shopify, no less!
In the spirit of making my comments useful, here are the custom redmine plugins we built and maintain for ourselves:

They are often the place of Russian language and culture events, which is how I heard of them.
I love the concept, but personally having to sign in to track time seems less "streamlined" to me than just buying a drink, so I didn't have a reason to go back, but maybe if the first hour was free in exchange for installing an app, it would be worth it. (I also don't hang out in cafes or coworking spaces much these days).
At some point I was frustrated enough to research some of the promising "workarounds" for their primitive and clunky document browsing/search UI, and typed them up as comments in this LinkedIn post: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/alexdergachev_ux-search-googl...
