Show HN: Estinator – simulation tool for project management

This is my side project, that I launched recently. The idea is to make simulations to project plans using the project triangle. There is a website with user guides and links to a video channel on YouTube. You can download a free version of the app for Windows. Furthermore, there is a paid app available with a few more features.

Android and other versions coming up at some time in the future.

Lots of use cases. Not everything is described in detail yet. As I am working full time in project management and test management, I can only put in a few hours a week, but the app can actually be used now.

Ask me anything, and I will try to explain it.

This looks pretty cool and I’ve bookmarked it to check out the next time I’m on Windows! It’d be nice if you had a couple of YouTube videos or something that shows how it works, just to see it in action before downloading and evaluating.

Thanks. I mentioned this in my original post, but here are direct links to YouTube videos showing the app in action: Introduction to Estinator Basic (in English): https://youtu.be/7Xqf_WYcCuY Introduction to Estinator Plus (in English): https://youtu.be/9mFgLO7DOEA You can also download guides in PDF with screen dumps included.

Oh cool! I guess I missed that cruising around the website!

Yeah, I definitely need to put those links in a more prominent space, maybe in the main menu.

I was expecting it somewhere on the product page or FAQ, TBH

Good point. The FAQ needs updating anyway, so I'll get this on my to do list ASAP. BTW I might have switched the two video links.

Added a link to the channel on the FAQ.

Hi, for me the website defaulted to Dansk upon opening. Have you heard another company in the same space from Denmark called Decideact? https://www.decideact.net/

There are a few missing chunks of narration and introduction in the website.

Is there a reason why you decided to execute this as a desktop software instead of a webapp?

Hi, thanks. You can choose language at the top right. Never heard of decideact before, and I'm not sure we are in the same spare. Please point me to where you believe there are missing chunks, and I will correct it ASAP.
