Launch day is done. Top 15 out of 150+ launches, and it happened because you showed up: every upvote, every question, every piece of honest feedback in this thread. Thank you.

Six months ago the first version of Norte landed in the thirties. The picture shows what changed in between: I wrote the company down. One folder of markdown files runs the brand, the funnel, the content, the emails. AI does the volume. I hold the gate.

To everyone who signed up today: your first perk capture is the whole point. Go find the dinner your card already paid for. And keep the feedback coming, the last 500 users rebuilt this app once already, and this thread is already shaping what ships next.

Before the relaunch tomorrow, closing the loop on what the comments in this thread actually turned into:

@thesnappingdog asked what I'd build around next, and I said surfacing perk usage more clearly. That became the center of the whole app: a ring on your home screen showing what your cards have paid back and what's still sitting there. Across 500+ wallets now, the average is about $2,600 a year uncaptured. Watching people react to their own number taught me more than any roadmap.

@hansel_pahmer asked for smarter receipt and claims handling. That became a better Claims Prep: helps you prepare a claim and store the documentation before something goes wrong. The automatic purchase detection part of your idea stays on the list, and honestly it may stay there a while, because doing it properly would mean connecting your bank, and no bank linking is a rule I'm not breaking.

@busmark_w_nika asked if it's US-only. The database went deeper instead of just wider: we now know which cards real wallets actually hold and added those first, the benefit data now comes from issuer benefit guides with much more accuracy, and new countries keep landing, Colombia most recently.
