    Digital sovereignty & local domain/email hosting

    I'm on a digital sovereignty mission. My primary email is omnom<at>lolz.com right now, handled by legacy GSuite for the past 13 years. I want to de-big-tech now. I own omnom.com and omnom.co.za. My plan: 1. Transfer omnom.com and omnom.co.za to 2 different South African registrars. The idea...

    I'm automatically itemising my grocery bills

    This is cool but a completely different problem and definitely not a 1-person operation :)

    I'm automatically itemising my grocery bills

    I had a look at this -- yeah, they are literally just taking your receipt, and having a human validate it (hence "up to 4 working days to process"). What I have is fully automated -- just not user friendly right now, hence gauging interest.

    Wasn't aware of this -- this will be useful for Xtra savings people who have lost receipts, I'll make a note of it thanks!

    Apologies for the late response - for some reason I wasn't getting notifications. I'm actively working on an MVP -- if you're interested, you can sign up for the newsletter or beta testing on the site. EDIT: I will be sending out a survey soon to understand everybody's needs. If you want to...

    What do you do if you can't raise the budget anymore?

    What do you do if it's halfway through the month and you've hit your limit?

    Sadly, integration with 22seven will not be possible. 22seven have stated that they will not provide a user API since their business model is to provide a white-label money management service.

    Yeah I'm too lazy to do that. I'd rather just take a photo and have a computer do it for me :) 100%. At this point I'm just gauging interest, but I have been developing software for banks and other financial institutions for 15 years - any service I build would be fully compliant with legislation.

    At this stage I just want to make my personal analysis tools available to more people and see where it goes. Feel free to signup for a newsletter for when there's something more concrete available?

    I'm automatically itemising my grocery bills

    A fixed budget is definitely a great idea -- but how do you decide what a reasonable fixed budget is? That was the problem I faced, and why I decided I needed insight into exactly what we are buying -- so that we can figure out what was reasonable, and what wasn't. And then monitor whether we...

    I'm automatically itemising my grocery bills

    The problem I face is we buy consumables/bulk from Checkers Sixty60, dairy/bread from local Pick n Pay, veg/meat/gluten free from Woolies food, then some special stuff from Spar, etc. Apps like 22seven can tell me I'm spending e.g. 10k at grocery stories, but they can't tell me exactly what I'm...

    Completely understand. Happy to remove it if there's a concern. Right now there is no public service offering, I'm just gauging interest.

    If there's enough interest, definitely. The email support will still be necessary for online grocery delivery services - Checkers Sixty60, Pick n Pay asap!, Woolies Dash... Also Makro sends emails, whether you order online or buy in store. It's very easy to automatically forward these emails...
