This sounds super interesting, I've found the same thing in my interactions with various remote social apps. I'll DM

I don't know exactly but it was no more than 3k and a decent amount of my time.

I work only with a printer... Amazon is my distributor. I found them on Alibaba.

I'm starting to ramp up my marketing but to date I've done some adwords and advertising on Amazon.

Sales are steady, I don't reach $1000 every month but the holiday season more than makes up for it when you average it out.

I'm happy to answer some questions... can you be a bit more specific?

Its difficult to completely automate the supply chain as incoming FBA shipments expire 30 days after they are created. If you're shipping heavy freight from China this is cost prohibitive. I currently "touch" my inventory one time in-between the source and FBA. I'm working on streamlining that part though.

I created a card game that I sell on Amazon. I have it manufactured in China and sell it though Fulfillment by Amazon.

Quite a change from my day job working in software but I enjoy the diversity.

That's an interesting idea... As we get further along in the process of making payments real in Keep we may discover that batching transactions is the best way to move forward.

Keep has no relation to Google's app keep or the keep shopping app that is also in the app store. We realize that there are other apps that use the word keep but we decided that we wanted to go with it.

That's great to hear... The feature that we are currently working on will allow our users to move money between their accounts.

And what happens when that isn't an option?

I think this is one danger of an app like this... If I was "considering" making a purchase when is it appropriate to say that I should "save" it and when would I have not purchased it anyway?

Either way, I think it is a tool that can be used for good as long as that assumption is understood upfront.

We are looking into that aspect of the app and will likely add some mild forms of gamification to make it more engaging over time. If you don't mind sharing, did you have anything particular in mind?

Thanks for the bug report, we are looking into it.

Awesome video, thanks for sharing! Looks like we aren't the first ones to build something for saving in the moment.

I love MMM... his blog has created some inspiration for this app!

We haven't built a native app just yet but we're thinking in that direction. If you have a chance to try it again open it up in safari or chrome on your phone. Thanks for being patient!

Awesome, I'm glad to hear you've found value in Keep! We're thinking about making it native and will be sure to let you know if/when we do.

hmmm... We've been optimizing for safari and chrome. Maybe give it a try in one of those?

I love that idea... creates a more accurate picture of exactly how much you could be "saving."
