Brioche
The fun way to slice the bread.
What is it?
A simple way to enter expenses and mileage into Google Docs from a text-message. You can specify "m" or "M" for mileage driven and "d" or "D" for dollars spent. For example, if you texted:
- "35d Burgers with the team"
- "44.1m Denver Airport"
You would end up with this:
| Item | Type | Amount | Date | Who |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Burgers with the team | d | $35.00 | 12/05/2013 | +13035555555 |
| Denver Airport | m | 44.1 | 12/05/2013 | +13035555555 |
You can then use the "m" in Google Docs for mileage reimbursement calculation, etc.
