One person. One question.

Hi, I am Rizwan. I build HisaabFlow, by myself. The question was where my salary went, and this is the short, slightly embarrassing story of how that became an app.

It is six short chapters. There is something to press in most of them.

This is the Guru. It was not asked about this page, and it has notes.

The salary came. Then it left.

Somebody took it. So let us find them. Six suspects, one missing salary. Question them.

Nobody has talked yet.

An example month from the app. Not my bank statement, which I would like to keep.

Every expense app wants a form.

Open the app. Find the plus. Amount, category, date, paid with, note, save. For a chai. Log one each way. It is keeping time.

One chai. Rs 200. Both ways. Go.

The usual way

0.0 s

The way you text

0.0 s

So I built one. It lasted an hour.

A bot in a chat. You typed what you spent and it logged it. It worked. About an hour later I stopped, and I never opened it again. The database held one expense. One.

That hour taught me the whole product. If writing down a chai means opening something, the chai does not get written down. So it moved to the one chat already open on your phone.

Nothing logged for a while, so it went to sleep. Poke it.

Then there is everyone else's money.

Rent. Internet. The dinner someone is definitely paying you back for. Every flat has one unpaid accountant and one friend who has it next time. Nobody wants either job.

So HisaabFlow got Rooms. You type the bill, tag the people, and it keeps the tab, so no one has to be the bad guy at the end of the month.

Bhai, kal pakka de dunga.

Kis ne kitna diya tha?

Main next time de dunga.

Calculator nikalo, yaar.

I thought you paid.

Things said in every flat. Pick one up and throw it. It helps.

It is still one person.

There is no team page because there is no team. I design it, build it, and lose arguments to the Guru. A money app should be straight with you, so here is where it stands, itemised.
