Show HN: Never wait for Paypal again

The problem I have with this (and I don't know whether it's just me, or if it's more common) is that I'm now innately distrustful of any third party service that wants to connect to of my banking or bank-like accounts and services.<p>I don't know these guys, I don't know how secure they are, and more importantly, I'm fairly sure PayPal would disown any responsibility if the data they would be able to access was used for nefarious purposes.

My first concern is security. I see that you say you import "via SSL" into a "secure Slowpal account".<p>Can you elaborate on what makes the Slowpal account secure?

Nice idea. Your logo is a lawsuit waiting to happen, though.

It looks great and all that, but wouldn't 'FastPal' have made for a better name?

Am I the only one that thinks the name and branding choice is misguided?<p>How is this any different from providing a valued added service for Paypal and naming it FuckPaypal.com?

My first thought was to do with the name - is 'SlowPal' at all at risk for trademark infringement?

It is just so sad that Paypal themselves don't feel the need to update their 10 year old interface and make it fresh and snappy to use.<p>Oh well, all the best to your project. I'm sure i will give it a try the next time i try to find a 3 month old transaction.

I think it's a very nice idea! I even didn't know that PayPal have 3rd party authorization.<p>I'm working in legal and you should change your logo at least!

This is a great idea (and I know of people that would love this) but I can't <i>any</i> information on your privacy controls. Doesn't this potentially break data protection laws if a company imports their users payment data and you're not protecting it properly?

In the screenshot tagline:<p><pre><code> "useR one or more..." --&#62; "use one or more..." </code></pre> And they should remove this (it breaks at a lot of mid widths):<p><pre><code> .navbar-fixed-top .container, .navbar-fixed-bottom .container { width: 1170px; }</code></pre>

Great Idea. However, I would have preferred the name "FastPal", "HassleFreePal", or something to that tone instead of a slower Pal.

Appreciate the kind gesture, but I still don't feel comfortable to let third party to handle my purchasing records.

I've been using this for a while, the graphing is a bit limited but has loads of potential!

This has potential. Shouldn't currency decimals be displayed right-aligned?

it would be awesome if the code behind this was open-sourced. I like most people have a hard time letting a third party handle sensitive information like this.

As a side note: who is sick of the Bootstrap #0088CC color?

This is hilarious.

awesome. please tell us what you're doing to ensure the data is safe?
