Smooth Wallet - Personal finance that doesn't suck.

Yea. I love seeing new stuff.. But you have nothing to show.<p>I'm not going to sign up for a site just to see what it does. You really should show users more before forcing them to sign up. Some sites can get away with this, but a finance site cannot in my opinion.<p>Show me why it "doesn't suck" before you make me sign up and spend time getting it running. For all I know the site is awesome, but you haven't shown me and when it comes to my money I don't like having to discover the apps that I want to use to organize it. I want to know what it does before I start looking at it because for all I know it doesn't do something that absolutely need. Then you're wasting my time and that is money.<p>Sorry, more info on the front page like a tour is needed. Otherwise, you lost me as a potential customer.

I think this is a good time to compete in the finance market but don't forget your competing with a fairly entrenched opponent in Mint. I would try to focus on working in agreements/your own mobile app. Maybe take a look at Back to Black or Saver on iPhone to sync with entries from mobile phones.<p>If you have auto import from banks then you will need major differentiators from Mint which could be as simple as being able to easily search/manipulate transactions in a clean interface.<p>Without auto import from banks, you need a way to make entry effortless. I think the idea of entering transactions into a non-mobile facing app will fade. If people want to keep track of transactions manually themselves, they will enter them in a mobile app and then analyze them on their computers.

Another startup of mine - aiming to add yet another solution to the personal finance conundrum. Personally, I'm sick of iBank, Koku and Quicken getting it all wrong (for my preference, anyway).<p>So this is a web-based money management app similar to what Wesabe was doing a while back.

Sounds cool ? I would have signed up for a trial or looked at it a little more if you didn't make it painfully obvious that after I take the time to set it up I'll be charged $5 per month in the future. FWIW I spent about 5 seconds on the website and then left.<p>Iterate!

Just an observation, but the left and the right screen shots appear to show basically the same thing.

So, you submitted a site with 2 pictures and a notify me button? No text to tell us why you are better than Quicken? No "demo"? Add some more information please.

Personal finance that doesn't suck sure starts with a screenshot showing a $10.000 balance...<p>But that just as well implies that the guy who creates this app for his own use (according to other comments here) probably won't be able to help me get into shape, saving/planning wise..

How will this stack up to something like GnuCash?

I like the name. I've tried Mint and find it lacking. It's automated but at the same time, it's not because i find myself having to fix account login issues from time to time. It's become so annoying that I don't check Mint often because it's so inconsistent. Plus the categorization just leaves a LOT to be desired.<p>A better interface would be one where I record the stuff I pay a fee monthly, such as web hosting, Github, online subscriptions, etc, and see at a glance all the monthly expenses I have, and the %. Sometimes I just wanna see how much I'm paying for that MailChimp subscription because i forgot, and Mint.com is too cumbersome for that.
