Project is a CLI tool for measuring software project costs.
I've started getting some projects with some friends out of our jobs, and while measuring the costs to our clients, we've tried all these tools. And we find that these tools are not productive. They don't have key snippets, you must be using your mouse all the time, its slow, huge GUI interfaces with added complexity, and so on. Maybe for non developers it is ok, but I'm a developer and I like when I can do the things faster and get a better result at the end.
So we started building Project.
Project will start as a CLI tool built in Node.js using Vorpal.js. We consider turning it into a web app in the future with some cool functionality, but for now our focus is productivity.
