A Splitwise Rebuttal

A one-trip expense splitter built to prove that generic group-finance apps are often more hassle than help.

Reconstructed mockup of the Vegas Split expense list and settle-up view, with placeholder names
A reconstruction, not a live screenshot — the database-backed app needs a Postgres instance I didn't want to stand up for a screenshot. Built from the real component structure (expense list, balance cards, settle flow); names are placeholders.
The verdict

A lot of software gets harder because we make it general before it has earned that complexity.
