You look like a kid and I don't trust you with my data. Why are all these types of 'startups' done by people with absolutely no experience that probably only learnt rails (or some other such low barrier to entry tech) this year?<p>Before the down votes roll in. This is a legit concern that ordinary customers could easily have.

This is cool, but it might take too much effort for me. What could maybe sway me is a companion iPhone app where I could log as I go. Ideally it would all be voice activated and I'd just say stuff like 'lunch £6'... But even if you had a simple landing page where I could make single-tap entries to my ledger. They wouldn't need to be exact either, a button for 'pint' that guessed £3.50, for 'chocolate bar' that guessed 70p, a few ones for 'meal' (cantine/pub/restaurant), customisable ones for frequent train fares... You get the idea.<p>For me personally the main use case would be tracking what I spend money on, rather than knowing how much I have left.<p>On a side note, I wish my bank would get their act together and let me easily search my balance history on their online banking page. Instead I have to export it and the history gets wiped after 2 years or something.

How about automated importing of transactions? Lovemoney used to do that but then stopped<p>I have to say, i've used ZetaBee cashflow a few times over the last couple of years and found it to be fantastic in helping project the real amount of money i have available to spend.

What about throwing some text in there? A couple sentences might have pushed me to watch the video.
