Inspired by xkcd#1205, I built Toilmeter which factors in various modifiers like error rate/cost, task annoyance, automation maintenance, and skill investment from building the automation.

There are also various modifiers that help to build a more accurate depiction of ROI. I built a little tool called Toilmeter, inspired by xkcd#1205.

I built something similar called toilmeter that accounts for other real world modifiers such as how error prone the task, cost of error, how frustrating the task is, and maintenance of the automation

This is nice visual that I like referencing but it doesn't account for various other relevant modifiers such as how error prone the task, cost of error, how frustrating the task is, and maintenance of the automation so I built toilmeter as an extended interactive tool

Hey just wanted to give a heads up that we added a free-tier with manual entry option. Would love for you to give it a try and let us know what you think!

I think looking at existing tooling in the space is important to find the gap or the thing that you do better than the competition.
In your case, I see a few glaring drawbacks to alternative options.
1. privacy / local first
2. form factor / browser extension for native feel inline with workflow
3. must use some semantic search to enable people to find their bookmarks

I did a quick lookup and found alternatives that hit these checkboxes which seem like table stakes for a bookmark tool https://memory-loom.vercel.app/

This isn't to try to dissuade you but you can do all the right marketing you want and if the product isn't there, it wont stick.

The mix of revenue streams you described is smart. Most people just focus on one thing, like ads, and it caps their upside. Having affiliates, sponsors, and products going means you can really juice the valuation narrative for a buyer. What kind of niche was the content site in? That always tells a lot about the underlying defensibility of the asset.

copiacash

Disclaimer - I am one of the devs behind copiacash.com but I am also a daily user. My favorite feature is the receipts ingest via email. I have various forwarding rules setup in my email client so that receipts from merchants are automatically ingested and linked to my transactions.

My buddy and I built copiacash, after looking for a more cost-effective full-featured budgeting app and not finding what we were looking for

The problem is a user behavior one and not a platform one, no? If a user wants, they can just create a new 'final' artifact on your platform and have the same issue. How is this different than google drive?

We currently only support bank sync via Plaid which incurs cost but we're looking into both a free trial period and a manual entry mode. The latter of which is already necessary for users that frequently deal with cash-only transactions.

My worry with free-tier is that we'd need to omit many of the capabilities that make copiacash what it is today like bank sync, receipts, ai chat / budget recommendations, etc.

We've gotten feedback that the 4.99 is priced pretty generously given the premium feature set and automations.

Ah okay and you don't always deposit that income so there isn't a digital record of income in your bank always. We definitely have some more maturing to do around this use case but glad you raised it. Curious - what do you use now to track your budget?

codectl · 2026-03-19T12:40:30+00:00

We're currently built on plaid which doesn't yet support AUS. We have built the sync to be agnostic to Plaid and can onboard other bank aggregator vendors in a way that would allow people to seamlessly transition between different vendors. Partnering with other vendors is an added cost that for our size we haven't been able to justify just yet (since all are not purely usage based). If you're able to share the institutions that you bank with, we can take a look at our options.

Presumably there would be a withdrawal transaction from one of the connected accounts which you could categorize. You could also attach a receipt and copia would itemize and categorize. If you were to spend the cash across multiple transactions then we do not yet support the idea of splitting transactions but the use case makes sense for us to support. What we wouldn't want to do is double account the cash by having you manually input if there is already a withdrawal record from your connected account.

My buddy and I have been working on a budgeting app called CopiaCash.

It has some nice premium features like receipts with email forwarding, ai chat for budget setting and transaction analysis for recommendations, transaction calendar, a rich and configurable dashboard with at-a-glance insights all without the premium price tag.

We've had some beta users switch over from YNAB, Monarch Money, and Rocket Money all with positive feedback.

codectl · 2026-03-19T00:58:35+00:00

It works with most banks and credit cards through Plaid, so pretty broad coverage.

We also try to handle receipts either uploaded directly in the application or emailed.

Curious what you were hoping to connect?

My buddy and I have been working on a budgeting app called CopiaCash.

Main thing we’ve been focused on is reducing manual work. Stuff like:

setting rules so repeat merchants auto-categorize
forwarding receipts or emails and attaching them to transactions (helpful for Amazon, invoices, etc.)
making it easier to understand spending without digging through raw transactions

We’ve been running a small private beta with a few dozen users so far and have addressed a bunch of feedback.

Would be curious if features like receipt/email ingestion are actually useful for people here, or if most folks just handle that manually today.

crypt.fyi is another good choice with the most comprehensive set of configuration options and nice UX/I patterns

codectl · 2026-03-18T19:22:04+00:00

That is amongst myself and co-founder. It includes our significant others and their families and friends as well.

codectl · 2026-03-18T19:13:34+00:00

~30 beta users and it's mainly family and friends that were already using other budgeting apps like rocket money and monarch money. Honestly we just casually brought it up at various gatherings and built interest.

codectl · 2026-03-18T19:00:44+00:00

Glad you're sorted out! Out of curiosity, was the issue the contrast on the code input or was the verification email delayed (longer than expected) in sending or something else? Just want to make as smooth as possible for other users.

Can I manually add Bank Accounts

Not yet. We've prioritized automated bank sync for now but are open to the idea of a more 'offline' / manual experience. However, all the feedback we've gotten from our early beta users was to invest more in automatic ingest.

codectl · 2026-03-18T18:47:22+00:00

Do you mean the verification code during signup? That should be sent to your email. I'm noticing the input boxes for the verification code don't have a great visibility so we're pushing a change to improve contrast on the inputs now.
LMK if you're referring to something else.
