Great to see this packaged as a nice service for people!

I built something a lot like this in 2004 and used it with a household of 6-8 people for over 5 years with great success. We split rent, utilities and food with it. I let a few other households use it as well, and everybody had a great experience with it.

I've been surprised that nobody has come out with an easy to use service for this, so I'm excited to check yours out!

My one suggestion is to give me a little more information about the service before signing up. Screenshots would be great to see.

Is your version still available? I would love to check out your take on it! I built this for the exact same reason - I'm in a shared apartment of 6, so I'm hoping people in similar situations will be able to get some use out of it.

Good suggestion about screenshots - I'll put more up soon!

Back on my computer (commented from my phone earlier). I don't know if you just added more screenshots already, or if you were just hiding from the mobile view! They look good tho!

Unfortunately my old version is not generally available, but you can take a look at a few screenshots! Feel free to leave comments with questions: http://flickr.com/gp/aaronpk/LAMz1d/

Ah yeah, the screenshots that are on there are hidden from small views. I really like your version, especially the graph idea - I would imagine there are lots of possibilities for interesting visualizations!
