About the Creator

Hello, I'm a freelance developer who survives on code and coffee.

Freelance life is quite peculiar. Yesterday I was wrestling with complex algorithms, and today I suddenly need to become a sales expert. Sending quotes is like a small battle every time. "Where did I put that clean quote I made last time..." I wander through the maze of Google Drive, only to find a file from 3 months ago. Every time, I sigh.

At first, I was proud of creating the 'perfect template' in a spreadsheet. But as time passed, files like 'quote_final', 'quote_really_final', 'quote_really_really_final_v2' piled up... At some point I realized, "Ah, this is not a developer's way of living."

I tried using overseas services, but somehow they didn't fit our culture. Looking around, everyone was like me - wandering through blogs looking for free templates, or buying files for a few dollars. Even then, they couldn't escape the shackles of file management.

So I created this. A tool that manages quote items like LEGO blocks, and quickly assembles them into nice quotes when needed. Just like creating reusable components when developing, I started thinking how great it would be if quote items could be managed the same way.

In the Age of AI, a Developer's Real Competitive Edge

Many of you must be shocked at how well AI can code these days, right? Almost every month when a new AI model comes out, people think "Wow, do we not need developers anymore?"

But I've realized something. More important than coding is 'development', and more important than development is 'customer interaction'. And every document delivered to customers is the beginning of that interaction.

Especially quotes are the first moment customers meet us. It's our first work piece that must show our expertise, organization, and trustworthiness in a single document. Delivering quotes faster, more systematically, and more professionally than competitors. That's the real differentiation strategy we need in the AI age.

This service is a small gift for freelancers like me who "do well on their own," and for those running small but strong businesses. It's not perfect yet. But I'll keep improving it for myself and for people like you.

If you think while using it, "I wish there was this feature," please feel free to contact me. Nothing is more valuable than feedback from fellow developers.
