I built a windows phone app around a similar concept ( http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/apps/7745a9a4-6926-4767-9e... ) but it hasnt really caught on.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
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/
I was looking for something like this to share our car costs. Unfortunately it lacks some stuff I really need: - Exclude people from cost (only 4 of 5 people do the road trip) - Fully claim some cost (someone needs the car for a day to move some stuff for himself) Are there other apps like this with a nice iPhone client?
We do similar things and you might find some inspiration or things you'd like to build into yours. PS. I also did mine for getting familiar with some new web techniques (Backbone + Rails in this case)
Great idea, looks like, but I do hope you're aware there are many of these around. http://www.buxfer.com/ http://www.splitwise.com/ https://wesplit.it/ http://www.billsarein.com/ https://www.paydivvy.com/ https://www.billmonk.com/ https://splitabill.com/ http://flatmin.com/ http://expensure.com/ I personally use the first two, in my roommate / office situation respectively. They work great, frankly. I have very few c…
Ha, I'm aware this is a well populated space! I made this mostly as a learning experience for myself - I'm trying to improve my skills with Rails and I wanted to make something useful for my apartment and this is the result! I'm not trying to beat out any existing services by any means, just wanted to share my take on it.

Goodmate looks fantastic! You definitely have a lot of features that I would love to try and build into Payback. I'm actually thinking of doing my next project in Backbone too - do you recommend any particular resources for getting started?
I also think backbone looks great in CoffeeScript, and since rails prefers it anyway, I think it works out. Here's a good tutorial on that: [3]
