QuarryFi

As a newer solo-founder, it's me doing the (vibe) coding here which means now I get targeted ads for various digital products and services. What caught my eye were a few ads about the IRS's R&D tax credit and how most small businesses weren't even aware of it.

I dug deeper and realized I didn't qualify, since I don't take W-2 income (aw man), but I was curious what my credit score could be if I were paying myself a salary, so I built QuarryFi. It connects to my GitHub repo as a baseline, but I also built plugins for Codex and Claude Code and an extension for VS Code to track which of my work qualifies as R&D activity (usually real development stuff) versus which doesn't (usually small tweaks on website copy). A lot of the troubleshooting was around how to qualify the work without exposing my dev code to the program. Even though it's my program, I didn't want that kind of risk.

Mainly, this worked out by improving my git commit descriptions and offering the ability to manually provide context, but I'm happy to say things appear to be working well.

Give it a go on the free tier to see what kind of activity it tracks and if you see the benefit, I'd love to have you as a subscriber.

Also would be great to hear if you even knew about this credit!
