Motivation

• automatization of repetitive task

  • is it worth it? according to xkcd table - you should spend 1 day for automating a monthly task that takes 30 minutes. That would be if only I'd be using this app. If it get's picked up, by 5 others - it is worth 5 days of development.
• remove errors from reports
