// Why CodingBar
A bill tells you what you spent. A dashboard tells you what you got.Tokei and CodexBar show you a bill. CodingBar shows you a dashboard: what you and the AI got done, whether it was worth it, and how to spend smarter next time. Tokens and cost are the foundation; insight is the point.
git diff — bill → dashboard
-Tokens consumed
-Dollars spent
-A number with no context
+Lines, commits & files shipped
+Cost read as $/line and $/commit
+Where to spend smarter next time
+Quota burn-down before you hit a wall
// What it shows
Cost is the foundation. Insight is the point.01 · Outcome over spend
Cost you can finally read as work done.CodingBar pairs git output — lines added and removed, commits, files — against what you actually paid, with $/line and $/commit. The dollar figure stops being abstract and starts being a productivity ratio.
