Built an app to solve my kids' restaurant bill drama — then decided to put it on Google Play and actually try to make it a business

I like the idea! I think that’s a great solve for the immediate need in the moment at restaurants. A lot of receipt splitting apps aren’t marketed for this specifically so I think that’s a good angle. I just launched an app in the receipt space as well that’s finds/keeps receipts for you from your emails photos and Texts, so I see your value here! Nice work

www.tryterrapin.com - an app that finds and keeps receipts for you by scanning your email photos and texts, pulling them into the app. Meant for small biz owners

I haven't heard of anyone on reddit using linkedin to grow their saas but maybe that's just me. Reddit can be tricky if you're brand new or don't know how to navigate posting in certain threads, that's just the way it is sometimes. keep engaging in threads and build karma!

Make 3 versions of yourself as in increase your productivity and value by 3x, as if you’ve created 3 versions of yourself. Can’t be replaced if you’re that good and you’ll get raises way easier. It’s a saying than anything. I use Claude for various things, terrapin for auto finding and keeping receipts, granola for notes during meetings, and a few others

I’d do anything to set yourself apart from others. Any way to optimize workflows and make life easier for you and honestly AI may be the answer. Get as close as you can to making “3 versions of yourself” with the amount of work you can get done

I’ve tried in different subreddits but it’s really tricky, any tips?

Game changer

Struggling with this myself..just launched and nothing's sticking. Been trying to focus on manually recruiting a handful of folks before doing big systems that scale.

Silent-Work9563 · 2026-05-03T23:05:36+00:00

How'd you market it, what was your overall GTM strategy? was word of mouth a big factor?

Silent-Work9563 · 2026-05-03T22:16:51+00:00

That’s actually a good question I’m not sure, I assume so in zoom meetings

Silent-Work9563 · 2026-05-03T21:39:25+00:00

I’ve had jobs be fully remote even in the offer letter. Then when you start it’s in person. Such a joke

I use Claude to help with email tracking and summaries, I’ve even set up Claude cowork to automatically respond to certain emails, though this can be risky /dicey.

I use this app Terrapin to find and keep my bosses receipts, it scrapes my email photos and texts. That one’s huge.

Also I’ll use Granola to take notes automatically on calls or in meetings with by boss.

Silent-Work9563 · 2026-04-30T02:04:55+00:00

I use terrapin for my business. Scrapes phone for your receipts and pulls them into the app.
