I loved simple, have used them for ~10 years, and gotten 5+ people in my circle to use them, they were the greatest. But at a certain point simple's budgeting system breaks, once you have another card. I would make payments per transaction on my CC to maintain that tagging data within Simple for reporting.
For years I was left unsatisfied with a tool that managed expenses with multiple cards and I found it half a year ago in CoPilot: https://copilot.money
Great app and handles internal transfers (ie payments to a card or another account) with grace. Smart rule system, recurring transactions, etc. Mint on steroids. Highly recommend for people like me looking for tools to replace simple.
Note: I am in no way affiliated with CoPilot, just found them super useful for that function as Simple wasn't hitting it.

Great team with an excellent product that was able to re-position extremely well during the current COVID era. Hats off to all at Density.
Worked with this team ~8 years ago when in college at my first startup and they were a consultancy. Smart people who I learned lots from when starting out and always enjoy hearing their continued success.

Ah thats pretty cool! I made https://snow.watch that gives 10 day forecast snow reports via SMS.
Wanted to do a second angle on it, see you did travel which is pretty sweet. I assume those are affiliate links, wonder what % are buying flights?

Back in college I made an application similar to this: http://mymanual.herokuapp.com/ (sorry if its slow or broken, unmaintained for ~3 years).
I had to do an input for each device and tag the ports so the logic in the application can create custom setup guides.

I applied to around 100 jobs over the course of 9 months when starting to learn how to program. For the startups I would get to a phone screen and potentially a technical challenge then be turned away. At the job I am at now, was contacted by CTO online, and had phoned/on-site/started within 5 days of initial contact.
I've seen a bunch of blog posts recently about some companies priding themselves on who they turn down versus who they accept and I feel that is one of the bigger problems we have as an industry in hiring.
