#2Very simple and easy to use. I like that I don't need a login.

#3I was actually looking for something simple like this for dividing expenses.
I suggest adding "Note" field on a "Item" that could be used for an extended description. The current "Description" field seems to be a single line, and is truncated on some of the views - it is really more of a "Title" than "Description".

I agree. A longer text field for describing expenses would be appreciated.

#5Nice to use. Is it Open Source/Libre? If not, do you plan to do it?

#6This is exactly the functionality I have been looking for, in a minimal implementation. I love it!
When creating a participant, why require an email, though, instead of making it optional?
I'd wager that most people will use this on mobile, and therefore share this via WhatsApp or some other IM client. Adding an email then becomes a pointless burden.

#9This is pretty neat, I always create fairly complicated spreadsheets for trips with friends, however this covers most of the edge case.
One is does not though is adding and removing people. IE, you rent a house but you might squeeze two more people in at the last minute. Then you need to edit all previous ledger items to make their split even.
