I like the idea and could see myself using this. After trying the tool a bit, I liked it and had some thoughts.

I think your landing page communicates well, it was pretty clear what it was going to do. The only thing I wasn't sure about is if the tool is also meant for teams larger than one. Then I would need to be able to enter different costs based on different roles, but I'm not sure if that's the target audience.

You said the project is half finished, so I assume you have tons of small UI improvement ideas already... But I would really prefer a different method of adding new lines/tasks over just adding every type on add :), for example a dropdown with an add button.

Adding to the list of ideas:

* A flat probability distribution for "will take between X and Y" is probably wrong, a bell curve would be more accurate (where X and Y are the 95% percentile).

Another question: is it open-source? I'm sure a few people around here would be glad to hack into the code ;-)

Thank you.

It's not open source yet - but I'd like to release it one day I think.

More probability distributions (maybe event custom ones) were something I was thinking of for the future. Maybe a paid one.
