I like the idea.

suggestion: your own vote should probably be given automatically to a site you post. (or you shouldn't be able to vote your own ideas in the first place)

I like the minimalism of this, just a connection monitor, nothing else. Great work!

1 feature request tough: I've installed RadioSilence also, and it would be very handy to be able to drag&drop apps from PrivateEye to RadioSilence to be silenced. Lack of this doesn't stop me from using this, but would make life a bit easier.

Wow, you've managed to simplify the concept even more! I guess the lack of money transfers limits this to non-continuous cases tough. (Which might be just fine)

I like the fact that the "landing page" is the tool, hopefully this stays with the finished version also.

This could be just due to the unfinished status, but currently at least it does require awful lot of clicking around with mouse. At least entering the cost of an item right after the name should be possible without touching the mouse. (and it actually took a moment for the first time to notice that you can edit the cost afterwards)

Maybe it would be also good to make a more drastic graphical difference between the names and the items?

Are you planning on adding possibility to mark certain items to be paid by certain people only?

Thanks!

Yes, current (early) plan of the mobile version is to store the addresses (+names) of the used Events on the phone. (actually, the Payments/Transfers will probably be also saved in the mobile device, to allow offline use)

Accessing Events created with the web-version for the first time with the mobile app is bit of open question tough. Copypasting the URL is maybe not the user friendliest way to handle this. Creating a user account of some sort for the mobile users might be a better idea..

Numpad should work now also.

No thorough analysis done, just some hours with Google and observations of the way people I know deal with expense sharing (excel/paper).

The problem is real tough: calculating this stuff by hand is painful. And because people still do that, it could be solved better than it already is. Choice between free, easy to use tool and paper is a no brainer (if you know that the tool exists, that is)

--> No signup, because it makes it more likely that you know about the tool. (easier to start using, and a lot more likely to spread)

How many people can I spread this to then? I have no idea, but I think this is the fastest way to find out. If it spreads, awesome, and if it doesn't, I'll just swap to some other project. Not much lost here.

(And yes, education is also a big motivator. This is my first tool after all. I still see some value in just shipping tools some people will actually use, profitable or not. A simple, fast project is good for this.)

Sounds cool alright, but the actual value added is maybe not that big. Everyone should still manually enter data, so just entering the data manually while looking at the bill could actually be faster..

This probably is not the easiest thing to implement either..

Thanks for feedback!

- Yep, the navigation is a bit asymmetric now. I think I'll add more focus to the navigation bar, and maybe even remove the "Settle Debts"-button.

- Actually there is a way. After you have deleted the last transaction of a person, a small "x" button appears next to that person's name in the participants-list. A bit unintuitive maybe.

- Actually, there are no good reasons for the cap. The best is probably to avoid long rows, but 10k is a bit low for that. I'll raise the cap or remove it completely.

Oh, this is enough info to fix it, I think. Thanks. Numpad probably sends different keyCodes than keyboard numbers, and the (hacky) number field doesn't consider them numbers at all. I'll look into this soon.

I hope that not requiring registration lifts SplitaCost above these.

the blue spinner never vanishes? Did reload help?

Then you should probably stick with Billmonk. You're correct, "no signup" is mainly a benefit for those who are not already registered to some competing service, but then again, most people don't use Billmonk.

You need to register to Billmonk, not to SplitaCost

I'll change the menubar to be a bit more flashy (there is a subtle color difference between the selected page and the rest of the menubar. A bit too subtle, it seems)

Thanks, this is very useful!

* maybe coloring the names red/green (behind/ahead) would solve this? (hovering the names shows a popup with info on hovered person's balance)

* shift-tab went straight the todo-list

* date fields.. * and uneven splits: yep, in certain situations both could be very useful. Maybe a "more" button that shows extra options like these when recording a Payment/Transfer would be nice.

* auto-complete should actually work already with names. I'll add it to the "for what" field also.

* this splits opinions I think. for me it's more natural to add new stuff to the bottom than to the top. The page scrolls to the bottom when new transaction is recorded, so it shouldn't make a big difference anyhow.

Probably not missing anything, the front page is text only (+button) currently. And yes, there's definitely room to improve it..

I actually never even thought of the shared office targeting before. It seems I should, it does sound like an opportunity for the concept.

I've actually been asked for this exact feature once before. My response was "you are the only one who would need that", but it seems I was wrong..

With the current version you can add each item as a separate payment and set the "who should pay" -field to "only". That'll solve the IKEA-case.

hmm.. strange, works well on my Mac+Safari combination. Wich version of Safari/OS X are you running it with?

Nope, not from London.

Thanks for feedback, I'll have think about the navigation.

Yeap, the monetizing plan is to make a non-free IPhone version that works seamlessly with the web-version. Hopefully the web-version will help to boost the marketing of the IPhone-version.

Actually I'm (probably) going to make a non-free iPhone version of this also. Therefore this web-version is either a part of a product, or an ad of product.

Thanks! Yep, that could be nice feature. I've found myself bookmarking those events in a dedicated folder, but that's not very handy.
