Quotely — Quote Builder for Trades and Small Contractors

Quotely builds quotes for tradespeople. You describe the job the way you'd say it on site, and Quotely turns it into a clean, priced quote — line items, totals, and a document you can hand to the customer.

Built for contractors, remodelers, and small trade shops that still quote from a notebook, a spreadsheet, or a blank email. If writing the quote takes longer than walking the job, this is the fix.

What it does:

• Quote builder: describe the job, get priced line items and totals
• Saved quotes list — reopen, adjust, and resend any past quote
• Customer records kept with their quotes
• Quote templates for the jobs you price over and over
• Runs on a small Node server with zero npm dependencies — nothing to install but Node
• Your quotes and customers stay in the app's own data files on your machine

What's inside the download:

• Quotely source code (HTML/CSS/JavaScript, Node server)
• README.md — what it is and how to run it
• INSTALL.md — step-by-step setup
• LICENSE.txt — plain commercial license
• Demo data with made-up names, where the app ships examples

How you run it: Install Node.js 18 or newer, then in this folder run: node server.js — and open http://localhost:3000 in your browser. There are no npm dependencies to install — the server uses only Node's built-in modules. Set the PORT environment variable if 3000 is taken.

One honest note: this is a local-first app. Quotes and customers are stored in plain JSON files inside the app folder, on your own machine. Nothing is uploaded anywhere. You pay once — there is no subscription and no account to create. Questions before or after buying: alexwboles@gmail.com
