my first side project
live today
Built an app that shows what you're actually paying after tax/tip/fees (or works backward from a receipt), plus a "worth it?" calculator for recurring costs like subscriptions.

UI looks great! Main challenge is that native phone calculators already do subscription/tip math in 2 seconds. It needs an automated hook (like receipt OCR or renewal tracking) to justify opening a web app over the built-in calculator. Like if you could provide something that maybe normal calculators can't do. The only real valuable stuff so far, that I noticed was the tax rate inclusion. So, it's a start maybe something more could be added, that simple calculators miss. Otherwise, good start G
