Want to compute estimates right from Workflowy? Or just sum up some stuff in a workflowy page?

This is your tool.

How does it work?

Any line that starts with a number formatted like this will be consider a price (or price range):

$100 $200..400

Then, for any line that contains a triple dollar sign ($$$), the plugin will show the sum of all price (or a range) based on all of its visible children.

Note on ranges:

It seems this Extention doesn't work. At least, this shows nothing: total $$$ * $12 qwer * $13 asdf

It would be more perfect if we could define the symbols of money.

I use Estimator two ways. Under BACKLOG, I keep an ordered list of home projects to complete such as paint the deck, buy living room carpeting, etc. For each item I estimate the cost. As I add and remove items and change estimates, I see a total cost of future repairs and enhancements. For long duration tasks, I create subtasks with hour or day estimates. I can quickly compute remaining effort as subtasks I overlooked are added or existing subtasks are completed. Although the hours or days show as $, I'm so happy I don't have to repeatedly do the math that I don't care about the formatting. An added feature I did not glean from the Overview, is that Estimator rolls sums up the hierarchy, i.e., total, subtotal, subsubtotal. This saves me a lot of time. While Estimator is no substitute for a full blown estimation tool, it's a great add on for a Workflowly level of estimation for tasks that arise quickly and are completed quickly.
