I built Roamates 🚀
An app for people who share life with others — roommates, partners, group trips.
Split expenses, plan chores, share lists, settle up. All in one place.

If you live with people or travel in groups, I'd love for you to try it

And if this resonates, a repost of the first post would mean the world on launch day 🙏
What should I build next?
Built solo: Flutter + Node/Express + Postgres, real-time over WebSockets, native iOS & Android home-screen widgets.
Shipped a lot in the last few months and weeks. Happy to talk shop in the replies.
Roamates puts it all in one app:
💸 Split expenses — in any currency
🤝 Settle up smartly (fewest payments)
📒 Shared notes & shopping lists, synced live
⏰ Chores that rotate on a schedule
🔥 Settle-up streaks & leaderboards
I kept watching friends (and myself) lose track of who owed what on trips and in shared apartments.
Spreadsheets fall apart. Splitwise stops at money. The chore wheel on the fridge never survives week 2.
So I built the thing I wished existed.
If you've ever lived with people, you know the drill:
“who paid for groceries?”
“whose turn is it to clean?”
“Where the shopping list”
a group chat with 200 unread messages and 3 different Venmo requests.
It's 2026. This shouldn't still be painful.
My cousin is an Apple designer. He is insanely gifted. I showed him this video and I asked him what it would take to build it today. I will never forget his answer… “We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.”
Soooooo the playback speed button on the new YouTube web UI update is completely broken.
There is no slider. There is no control. Nothing moves. It's just a white circle.
The menu opens and then just… lies to me.
Is this happening to anyone else?
I'm trying to watch a very important video at 1.25x speed.
i will invest $150k if you have an idea that hits 1 of these ideas.
1. you gotta build the thing
2. you will take $8k/month salary
3. i will take 33% equity
4. i will take care of the backoffice
5. i will add a $50k marketing budget
we have 6 months to hit $25k MRR
I hate ChatGPT 5, it's so bad, it's so lazy and it won't let me switch back to 4o cause I'm on Plus, this might really make me switch to Anthropic's app now, I'm actually annoyed by how bad it is, it's making my productivity go 10x lower cause nothing it says works
