I've gotten into the habit of posting the hard dev costs for the tools we've been working on for the Fediverse.
VerifiedX - That's the app that powers https://Lawstodon.social and https://Verifiedjournalist.social
$9241.12 *
total hours:
BigRelay - https://BigRelay.social is a next generation fediverse relay and, search engine and ???????
$1101.67 *
Both of these apps will be FOSS shortly.
These don't include time and cost of my time which I dont' track.... just our devs time
