Help Test the Quote App ๐Ÿ”จ

A quoting & material-list app for contractors โ€” built by Kaleb. About 40 minutes all in, but you can stop anywhere and pick it up later: this page saves your checkmarks in your phone's browser, and the app saves your answers on its side.

What's new since your last version

๐ŸŽ‰ That's everything โ€” you're done! Thank you.

If you only do one thing, do Part 2 โ€” the real-job math check.

Take one job you've already built and priced. Put the same measurements into the app, then tell Kaleb where its material list disagrees with what you actually bought. Nobody has ever checked these formulas against a real order, so right now nobody knows whether the app's numbers can be trusted on a real bid. That's the one question Kaleb can't answer from his end โ€” everything else on this page is "does the button work."

What you need: your phone, and one past job you remember the numbers for.

You can't break anything. Nothing you type leaves your phone, and any mess wipes in seconds.

Out of time? Send what you have. There's no all-or-nothing here โ€” a half-finished checklist and one honest note is worth a lot more than nothing, and you can send again later.

Testing alongside your partner? Same page, but your checkmarks and your quotes are yours alone โ€” each of you sends your own results.

On an iPhone? There's one thing only you can check.

Every Share button now has an Email button under it โ€” Email Bug Report, Email Suggestion, Email Results. Tap it and your mail app opens already filled in: address, subject, the report in the message, a copy attached. You just hit Send. Kaleb has only ever run this on Android. If the mail screen doesn't open, or opens missing something, say so โ€” that alone is worth the trip.

No Email button on screen? Your phone has no mail app set up. The Share button above it still works โ€” pick Mail, or text it. Nothing's broken.

Part 1

Get the app on your phone (5 min)

exp://u.expo.dev/fc552a5c-60b2-4257-92cc-1272aac5283c?channel-name=testers

Getting a newer version later: fully close Expo Go (swipe it away), open Expo Go again, and tap ChalkLine in its recent list.

Part 2 โ˜…

The real-job math check (20 min โ€” the one that matters)

โ–ธ

One job is enough. Pick something you've already built and priced and still remember the order for. A second job is a bonus, not the ask.

Doing a second job? Tap Start New Quote on the Review step and go again.

Thanks for the answer on sales tax.

One of you told Kaleb you price from the shelf and add tax to the whole list at the end. The app now does the same: sales tax goes on once, at the end of the material list. Does your total match your receipt now? Say so either way. A few more questions are on the Questions for you page โ€” a sentence each.

Part 3

The rest of the checklist (15 min, stop anytime)

โ–ธ

The same in-app checklist covers the rest โ€” saving, sharing, clients, the premium features โ€” and collects your answers so they go back in one tap.

Part 4

Try the two new Settings features (5 min)

โ–ธ

Only do the next one on a phone with nothing in the app you need to keep.

It really wipes everything in the app, including your checklist answers. Send your results first (end of Part 3).

Anytime

The bug button & quick answers

โ–ธ

If anything crashes, freezes, looks wrong, or just confuses you: Settings โ†’ Testing & Feedback โ†’ Report a Bug. One sentence on what happened, then Email Bug Report and hit Send โ€” already addressed and filled in. No Email button? Share Bug Report above it works the same. Got an idea instead of a bug? Same spot: Suggest a Feature, then Email Suggestion.

Reports carry your phone type and app version automatically โ€” never your quotes, prices, or customers. After you send, your typed text may still be sitting in the box; that's on purpose so nothing gets lost. It doesn't mean it didn't go.

Kaleb's got questions for you too. A handful of things he can't work out from his end โ€” how joists cut out of a 16, whether you bid a waste factor, how you split a bid when two of you do it together. Questions for you โ†’

A sentence each, and answering one is genuinely useful. There's a button at the bottom that opens your mail app already filled in.

Seeing "HTTP response error 403 โ€ฆ requires authentication"?
Expo Go isn't signed in to the Expo account Kaleb invited. Open Expo Go โ†’ Profile โ†’ sign in with the invited email, then scan the QR code again. No invite email? Text Kaleb the email address you want to use.
App froze or went blank?
Fully close Expo Go, open it again, and tap ChalkLine in its recent list. If it happens again, send a bug report saying what you'd just tapped.
Had the app loaded from a while back?
Fully close Expo Go (swipe it away), open it again, and tap ChalkLine in its recent list. That pulls in the newest version.
Why does it say ChalkLine?
Old working name. It still shows up in Expo Go, at the bottom of a free quote ("Made with ChalkLine"), and on the subject line of the reports you send back. Same app โ€” nothing for you to do.
Closed the app by accident?
Open Expo Go and tap ChalkLine in its recent list โ€” your work is still there. (That's actually one of the tests.)
Something feels dumb or clunky?
Say so. "This button is in a weird spot" is exactly the feedback that makes the app better. Use the bug button for those too.

Thanks for doing this โ€” an hour of your real-world eyes beats a month of testing on Kaleb's end. ยท Questions for you ยท Quote v0.1.0 ยท updated September 30, 2026
