#4I'd like to give this a try, if only because I am not sure I believe anyone can accurately estimate non-trivial programming tasks. However, there doesn't appear to be a way to get any information without connecting your app to my github account. Seems like that process ought to go the other way around.

#5Here's one way: double the estimate and then cut the scope in half.

#6Cool idea and this is probably the first time I've seen Vue.js be used in production (that I'm aware of). I'm in the US so I think changing the currency symbol (as a profile setting) would be a nice feature. Very clean design!

Not yet. I wanted a prettier way to use standard deviation for assessing the most likely value for estimate line items as well as saving those in a nice convenient way. So I built this. Eventually this will branch out to have more features, specifically for agency-style businesses where they may have several worker types with associated internal / external rates etc. For now though, I'm just gathering feedback as to whether this is a problem for people or not.

You're right! That's my job for Monday now that I have a proper audio unit setup. Thanks for the feedback ;)

From experience, you're probably not wrong.

Thanks man! I really enjoy Vue. Multi-currency is definitely on the road-map for sure. It's all baked in really except for the user settings area.
