So I figured you know what, I've been trying to bring this product to Reddit in the hopes of having better discourse around the news, but instead I realized, I was looking for smart discourse around a subject, which I haven't been able to find on Reddit or elsewhere, so I created Exppit ( h…

The word basically is doing a fucking lot of heavy lifting in that sentence given that it's essentially asking spicy autocomplete to pretend it's multiple (possibly dead) people from $field to discuss the topic amongst themselves.

A personal finance app called “Predictable” that takes chaotic sloshes of money and turns them into steady streams of cash. You tell it “I receive this much money weekly/monthly/on the first and fifteenth/when Mercury is in retrograde, and I have these expenses at other various intervals” and it evens everything out into a constant weekly flow of cash by, essentially, buffering. Any overflow or underflow goes to a “margin” bucket which basically tells you how much you could spend right now and still have enough for all your recurring expenses.

Currently making it just for myself but curious if anyone else would find it useful.
