#2Syncs with their phone app, to keep a track of bills and expenses. Based on the Espressif ESP32. Quite handy for small shop owners who can't have a full-blown computer+screen cash register.

I don't live in India (nor run a shop!) but I imagine for businesses that take both cash & PhonePe it could be a useful feature to collate the two, if there's some kind of API for that? i.e. so you'd have all sales in one place, regardless of payment method, and the daily/weekly/etc. total would cover everything.
Just a thought. I like the design! Keeping it simple & familiar, calculator works (or almost, just missing feature), no need to reinvent that part. :)

#5[Serious] Can you not just connect a physical numpad to your phone and use the phone screen as display?

I think you could, but you wouldn't leave your phone in the shop for other employees to use. You would have to buy a dedicated phone for the purpose... At that point you can also buy a dedicated calculator instead.

#8would you people be interested in opening up the api to connect to third party softwares? i have [gnukhata](https://gnukhata.org/) which is AGPL licensed accounting software and this would be great synergy between local hardware and software.

#9i have a fundamental problem with "accounting" for small businesses.
1. if they are registered with GST, they should probably start maintaining inventory and for that,this device is not useful.
2. if they are NOT registered with GST, they can't even bother with this because nowadays UPI is becoming the norm and all sale gets recorded there anyway.
this would only serve the niche of "not-registered for GST and using cash" but knowing how big india is, with the right marketing, this should blow up in a good way

#10This product page is just terrible.
I went through it, played a couple noisy videos, I could not even read the labels of the 3 first rows of buttons, I have no idea how it exactly works...
Surely just adding and subtracting like the video shows doesn't record cash in hands etc?
