Launch HN: YSplit (YC W19) – Automatically split and pay any bill

To me, "splitting the bill" occurs mostly in restaurants, which (as far as I can tell) isn't what this does. It would certainly be a pain in the butt problem ("Steve had the lasagna, and we agreed to go halfsies on the apps"). Tie it into the restaurant's billing?

This kind of thing is what I'd call "sharing expenses". And it's surely a fine thing to have an app for: less hard than trying to account for the details of a restaurant bill, but still an impressive achievement.

I know I'm just (ahem) splitting hairs here, but to me "splitting the bill" that doesn't cover what I think of as the most common case seems like it's going to confuse people.

Hey, our thought exactly! Not sure if you saw in the post, but we are also developing a YSplit card that can split one-time payments e.g, restaurant bills, takeout, vacation & more. When the card is used, it charges everyone their portion. It's a physical or virtual card and is currently in beta. Let me know if you are interested in trying it out!

Don't most restaurants already split it for you, at least for smaller parties? All I frequent do, down to splitting apps even.
