Thanks @emieljanson for hunting Billy! Hey everybody, My name is Jeffrey (22) and I'm the maker of Billy. I'm really excited to share what we've been working on for the past couple of months. Six months ago I moved out and started living on my own. Because of this, I suddenly had to take care of things I didn't know about. My parents used to take care of … See more

@jeffreydgroot Congrats! App looks really nice. How does Billy compare with others in this space? Seems like there is growing competition here. FWIW I'm not sure a text-based bot is the most effective approach for this space so I like the path you've taken

A couple of thoughts: 1. I was thinking to enter some of my company subscriptions to get a better idea on monthly cost. It would also be cool to see personal subscriptions. F… See more

@jeffreydgroot @emieljanson I had this idea two years ago and never built it...nice to see that someone did this. Interesting choice of monetization model, not sure if this really works but we'll see. Any plans for Android?

@jeffreydgroot Really nice interface and the idea is great but for me this is only useful if it can automatically import my subscriptions. The thought of maintaining what is essentially a personal database whenever a subscription event occurs, is a turn off.
