For the last few months I've been building my first SAAS product; Simker (Name derives from "Sim-ple Trac-ker"). Although in closed beta, we've just on-boarded our first paying customer!! I'll be sharing more in the coming weeks 🥳

Project Tracking, for Freelancers

I built Simker to streamline the process of managing freelance clients, keeping them in the loop with where their work is, along with an easy-to-use dashboard for myself to never forget a piece of work again. It really has reduced my stress levels when it comes to keeping on top of workloads.
