Ask HN: Rate my small budgeting web app

I have no idea what this does on first glance. The contrast between the font color and background is too low, so it's hard to read, and your screenshots are highly compressed so I can't read them either. If I was a random customer I'd click back before even bothering with the screencast.

Also, the name lowlydisparateventures doesn't really inspire confidence. Is that the name of the budgeting app or a different company?

Bottom line, you need to describe what this thing does in one easy-to-read sentence before expecting me to bother sitting through a 2-minute video.

It's hard to read

Also I don't want to have to sign up to get some benefit out of it.

Maybe have an open access version that doesn't save state and has a budge limit like $20, just so people can quickly get a feel for what it does. That could be complemented by the video

Thanks --

Yeah, lowlydisparateventures was a placeholder. I'm not actually maketing the app at this point, so I left it up, but I suppose I ought to have changed it before asking for feedback.
