Overview
A tool built out of frustration
The ESUS Calculator was born from a personal pain point: manually tallying usability scores mid-session breaks flow, and copy-pasting results to Notion was tedious enough to skip. This tool streamlines the process — tally scores, see results instantly, copy directly to Notion with one click.
It's a small tool solving a very specific problem, designed with the same rigor applied to enterprise products: clear information hierarchy, minimal cognitive load, and zero unnecessary steps.
