🚀 Meet Doofer.io
Let's give a huge shout-out to Doofer, a free project-estimation toolbox that helps product teams plan time, cost, and resources without Excel acrobatics. Doofer ships with proven estimation methods - Min-Max, PERT-three-point, story-point conversion - and automates all the boring math so you can focus on real scope.
Why We Love Their Estimate Templates
Instead of starting from a blank sheet, Doofer lets you spin up ready-to-go templates for website builds, SaaS sprints, or creative gigs. Each template includes default roles, hourly rates, overhead percentages, and probability buffers - all editable in-place. Hit Generate, and Doofer outputs optimistic, realistic, and pessimistic totals in less than a second.
- Automated cost & margin - toggle markup, tax, or currency with one click.
- Live accuracy meter - a colour bar warns if estimate variance exceeds your risk threshold.
- Version history - track every tweak for full transparency with clients.
Instant Sharing & Client Feedback
No more PDF v12_Final-For-Client.pdf. Click "Share via Link" - Doofer creates a secure public URL that shows only the sections you whitelist: totals, breakdown, or timeline. Stakeholders can comment inline, approve with a single tap, or download a branded PDF for their records.
🌍 Real-World Wins
• Agencies shave days off proposal prep.
• Freelancers wow prospects with crystal-clear breakdowns.

What's Next for Doofer?
Upcoming beta features include AI-powered effort forecasting, resource heat-maps, and a public GraphQL API so you can pipe estimates straight into Jira, Notion, or your own dashboards. We can't wait to integrate these goodies into our meme-tech stack!
