The Story Behind Timest It all started with a simple but frustrating question: "How long will this take?" For anyone working on projects—big or small—you’ve probably heard this question too many times. At a digital agency, this was a daily struggle. Clients wanted instant answers, deadlines kept shifting, and estimating work felt more like a guessing game than a process. As a senior team member, I found myself spending an hour every morning breaking down tasks, trying to give realistic estimates. The trick? Splitting work into smaller, bite-sized pieces and assigning rough effort levels—1 (easy) to 9 (hard). It wasn’t perfect, but it worked. Then I had a thought: Why not turn this into a tool? What if we could make estimation fast, effortless, and even automatic? A tool that remembers past tasks, suggests time estimates, and helps anyone—from freelancers and teams to students, side hustlers, and even people planning everyday tasks—break down ideas and plan smarter. That’s how Timest was born. It started as a way to save time at work. Now, it’s here to help anyone take an idea, break it into tasks, and estimate how long it’ll take—without overthinking. 💡 This is just the beginning! Timest is an MVP, and we’d love your feedback to help improve it. Try it out, let us know what works (or what doesn’t), and share any ideas for new features! 🚀 Try it out: timest.me
