Who are you?

Carl.

Why did you make this?

When I was in the Navy, I wrote my submarine's in-port watchbill manually. It was a pain and I wanted to make it easier for the next generation.

How does it work?

Like this.

How does it ensure fairness?

Like this.

What tech did you use?

Django, Postgres, and Nginx in Docker. HTMX for the frontend. OR-Tools for the math.

Who pays for this?

Me. This site is free. You can donate here if you want to, but it's not required. If it ever becomes popular enough to make cloud costs expensive, I might charge a dollar per month or something. I won't run ads or sell data.

What do you do with the data I enter?

It sits in a database and is periodically deleted. If you want to delete it manually, click this link or the button on the bottom of the main page.
