@anaeem152@luisdewendtofc the airport pickup venmo request is brutal lol. i got tired of that chase and built an app where friends claim their share and pay on the spot, so nobody has to send the awkward request after
@Little_G2 the dessert opt out is where every even split falls apart. someone always orders light and subsidizes the table, or you end up doing receipt math at the end
@tati_fuego the follow up venmo request is the worst part. i built an app called dibs for this, you snap the receipt and everyone claims their own items, so nobody has to send a request after
@argentomi@nazarenads que no se registren los gastos es lo peor, pasas el viaje tranquilo pensando que quedo todo anotado y despues sorpresa. a un amigo le paso igual y termino reconstruyendo el mes con los movimientos del banco
@amishha0606 the confusing part is never the math, it is the tracking. who added what, which group is current, whether that one person ever saw the request. half the ledgers I have been in just quietly died
@GemOfKingdom@bigdmlr@shove_bet the forgetting is the whole battle. nobody is dodging the 15 bucks, it just slips, and three weeks later nobody can reconstruct who covered what
@marcklingen@arnesh_11 the forgetting is the whole problem with the ledger model. any app that depends on you logging it after the fact has already lost. the table is the only moment that matters
@AnghanMeet29 the quietly resenting spreadsheet person is too real. whoever fronts the money turns into the group's unpaid accountant and nobody notices until they stop volunteering
@paonegreteee tricount en cada viaje, te entiendo. por eso hice dibs: escaneas la cuenta y cada quien reclama lo suyo desde el navegador, sin instalar nada
@mlmmca@splitwise yeah this is the worst splitwise failure mode. i built dibs so the money never sits inside the app at all. everyone claims what they had and pays you directly, nothing to lose in transit.
The check lands. Someone says, "split it evenly?" Then the person who had one drink does that tiny pause where they decide whether $30 is worth making dinner weird.
Everyone claiming their own stuff is easier.
@Celticspain17@crackeroty the delayed request pileup is the worst part, the trip ends and the math ambushes you a week later. built an app for exactly that, everyone claims their own stuff off the receipt while youre still at the table and it settles the same night
