The landing page doesn't give me enough detail/explanation as to what value this is creating that I don't already have. I saw Sweep on Product Hunt a couple of days ago and just based on comparing the two landing pages, Sweep is more convincing to me as something to try.

@patrickmandia Thanks for the reply. :) I currently don't use an app strictly for spending analysis, so maybe I'm not your target demographic because I don't see it as a huge problem for me right now. But, I was just noting that I'm not sure if your landing page really describes your value proposition is. I think you could keep it simple/lightweight but add a little bit more. Just my opinion of course. I wasn't persuaded to use Sweep, either, but comparing the two, I would be more likely to try using that first based off of the landing pages alone.

@patrickmandia@jkent2910 I'm inclined to agree here -- was hoping to see a little more on the landing page! I manage my finances in an excel spreadsheet. Also not a Mint kinda gal.

My question with these finance apps is I'm giving you access to my financial info, how do I know my info is safe? With all this hacking going on why should we as a consumer trust your app? Just asking not trying be a negative nancy.
@youngfonz They're totally valid questions, and it's wise of you to ask! Jetty uses a service called Plaid (https://plaid.com/) to perform the authentication with the banks. All traffic between us and them is encrypted with bank-level security, and we don't store your credentials, just a token that we use to request data from Plaid (if you're familiar with how Stripe works for allowing online merchants to safely charge credit cards, it's pretty similar). Additionally, all of our data is encrypted, and all traffic to and from the app uses SSL, so we think it's pretty safe.
If you'd like more info, you can read our FAQ: http://www.jettymoney.com/faq.html or email us at founders@jettymoney.com.

@sgawb see now thats what Im talking about! A clear answer for a honest question. I am familiar with Stripe but didnt know about Plaid! Now I understand how there are more of these apps that ask for this info and feel safe asking!
Hm, said it couldn't connect to my bank account three times, then gave me success, and now I have same account in there three times. Also, once bank is connected there is no way to get out of the 'add bank' flow without closing and reopening the app?
I really like the minimalist design. Are you guys doing your own categorization or using what comes out of the box with Plaid? In general, we've found aggregator categorization to be quite poor.
@borisism Thanks! For categorization, we're doing a mix of both right now. Aggregator categorization is decent, and we're using that + some manual categorization to train our own categorizers. We hope Jetty gets enough adoption that we start getting useful tagging data from our users as well because that obviously has the strongest signal :)
This solves a huge problem for me. Intuit clearly has no interest in updating Mint as it keeps getting slower and something is broken every time I login. I'm glad someone wants to innovate again in this space and build tools like this for mobile.

@kftaylor agreed. Gave up after constantly needing to re-sync accounts.
Super excited to see you guys launch! I used to be a daily Mint user but it required a lot of manually analysis on my end to actually see what I was spending money on, huge fan of how Jetty compares over various time spans over different categories!
