Keep Ever Gauzy, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Ever Gauzy you could make: tasks, time tracking, invoicing, reports and employee records. What surrounds it you could not. The 1 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $408 a year. Ever Gauzy is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.
What you could make
- Tasks, time tracking, invoicing, reports and employee records: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Apps for macOS, Windows and Linux that stay in step with each other.
What this rests on. Ever Gauzy’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
