From “who owes who” to a group that splits bills and actually talks, live on iOS and Android.

// 01 the problem

Splitting bills in group chats is awkward, and the tracking app is never where the conversation is.

// 02 how it works

Step 01
Bill splitting inside communities.
Step 02
A feed with threaded comments.
Step 03
Group chat alongside the money, over websockets (Django Channels).
Step 04
Media and video posts.
Step 05
Builds and over-the-air updates through EAS workflows; the Django + Celery backend was built with the team’s backend engineer.

// 03 decisions that mattered

iOS and Android builds can land on different runtimeVersions, so one OTA publish only reaches matching builds. Releases are checked per platform.
