Show Elpha - Braid, a group account for shared spendinghttps://braid.co

Hi All -- Long-time lurker here. I posted back in November and got tons of great feedback from Elpha + Elpha Beta Testers community (product used to be called Compound). In that time, we've made lots of changes and are doing a public launch today.We're building Braid, a group account for shared expenses. Sharing money can be painful, especially for ongoing expenses with roommates, family members, significant others, etc. Most people use a combination of Excel, Splitwise and Venmo/Cash App/Zelle. It’s easy to send money, but it’s still hard to share it. The idea of a “group account” doesn’t really exist, and that’s what we’ve been building. I think the joint account, as a product, is not great and shared accounts more generally can be a lot better.Some usage we've seen so far:-Couples using it as a lightweight joint account-Roommates using it as a house account-Sharing money with family members as a way to help/support everyday expenses-Divorced co-parents who share childcare expenses-Social envelope budgetingThe product is totally free. You can download the app for iOS or Android and get started quickly. U.S. only for now. We'd love for you to check it out and tell us what you think. I'll be here answering questions, or you can email me directly: ap@braid.co.-AmandaLinks============-App Store: https://apple.co/33sUaNf-Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.margin-Website: https://braid.co-Our Twitter: https://twitter.com/braid_app (it’s brand-new!)
