Hey PH! 👋 I'm Luc, a Canadian indie developer and the person behind this app. I built it because I kept making purchases without really understanding what they cost me in actual working hours after tax. The math is surprisingly eye-opening.
Would love your honest feedback — what features would make this more useful for you? Happy to answer any questions about the Canadian tax logic behind it.
