Earlier quoted context omitted.

Please read up on present day email address validation. If you have a regex that is doing more than ^.+@.+$, then you are doing it wrong. Don't validate the address beyond looking for an '@' in the string; just send an email with a confirmation link to see if it actually works.

I use: ^[^@]+@[^.]+\..+$ for a bit of sanity checking...

Multiple @ symbols are absolutely valid, as long as they are properly quoted ;)

Feature wise Splitwise offers more, I also never thought Splitwise to be complicated at all.

I find Splitwise UI not intuitive at all. I currently used acasa. UI wise its great. The one thing I don't like about them is they don't let you export the data from the system.

For small apps like these, sign up is really a pain. That is why a friend and I have been working on a simplified version, which is mostly based on links so you can also easy share a tab: https://grouptabs.net We also try to keep the interface very simple, and it works offline.

Wow, this looks great. Self-hostable but with an easy to use public instance, no app and a decent UI.

A few things I would really like to see added seem to already be in discussion, such as an "add to homescreen" option (https://github.com/xMartin/grouptabs/issues/146, https://github.com/xMartin/grouptabs/pull/143) and a delete option (https://github.com/xMartin/grouptabs/issues/152).

I look forward to playing with!

Does Splitwise (or any app) support OCRing the receipt to visually split the bill?

Edit: I found https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.astepanov.... which works offline and does OCR from a photo

There’s an app called Tab which does a pretty good job of this.

I implemented this feature in a shared flat context. The problem gets simplified as the users are all part of a group already and even the settlement happens without exchanging any money. Your share gets added to the monthly rent. Full write-up: https://blog.simplyguest.com/flatmate-expenses.html

Splitwise does have a premium feature to read receipts
