gopher

start your first project

gopher is for the long stuff — custom builds, fabrication, woodwork, contractor jobs that span weeks. crawdad is for one-day jobs; gopher is the multi-week room.

3 steps~2 min

1
open gopher
click "gopher" in the sidebar.
2
click "new project"
name the build ("walnut credenza for the wilsons"), pick the customer from your dragonfly list, and set the budget and target end date.
3
save
the project lands on the active list. open it to set up phases, materials, and the payment schedule — covered in the next articles.
tip
name projects by the build, not the customer. "walnut credenza" beats "the wilsons." when a returning customer commissions a second build, the names stay distinct.
