Show HN: FairSplit – Split Restaurant Bills Fairly Without the Math Headache

After a chaotic dinner with friends where we overpaid $120 due to messy splits, I built FairSplit – a zero-friction app to divide restaurant bills exactly as consumed.

Why it exists:

-Existing tools require accounts or force equal splits

-Manual math wastes 10+ minutes and strains friendships

-Groups lose $100s/year from lazy calculations

How it works:

-Snap a receipt or input items manually

-Assign dishes/drinks to individuals or groups

-Get precise totals with tax/tip split proportionally

Share payment links via SMS/WhatsApp

What makes it unique:

-Privacy-first: Bills auto-delete after 24 hours

-Mobile-optimized UI for real-time splitting at the table

-No app install or signup required

Would love feedback on:

-Feature prioritization (e.g., multi-currency support)

-Edge cases I’ve missed (split-by-percentage?)

-UI/UX pain points
