Have an option to specify "time-tracking" goals, for which data points and "bare min" numbers will be displayed in x:xx format
I have many goals tracking the amount of time I spend on a certain task or activity. It's super great that I can enter data in h:mm or m:ss format, but I'd like to be able to see my entered data and "bare min" counters in that format as well. For example, right now the goal page might say something like +0.66 to get back on the road; I have to open up a calculator and multiply by 60 to see that means 40 minutes. I want beeminder to do this multiplication for me. =)
The idea would be to add a simple yes/no option to specify whether a goal is a "time tracking"-type goal, which would affect the way data points and bare min values are displayed on the goal page.

I've noticed that you already check in the "data section" if the label is "Hours" to display it in the hh:mm:ss format, can't you "recycly" the code from there?

Yes, pretty please.
I have a lot of "x hours of this or that" goals as well as "before x o'clock" goals. This would be great as I often find myself misreading what I need to do. (E.g., I look at the goal and it says I need to start by 9.45 and I think to myself "oh, I need to get there and start by 9:45". That, of course, is wrong. I need to be started by 9:27... and now I've derailed cause I looked too quickly and argh.)

This would also be great to implement in the Android Beeminder app.
