Great to hear! Its still one of the major products I'm considering, that said their pricing at scale is something that feels avoidable so that's what I'm wrestling with rn.
Thanks! Mailchimp seems like the most popular option but I hear it gets really expensive at scale(that's not to say the cost isn't justified) and I'm trying to run this company as lean as possible.

Google forms is definitely something I'm considering. Thanks for the response!

1. No preference on this. It sounds convenient to do it all in one platform, but I assume that increases our exposure to potential vendor lock-in shenanigans. 2. Separate pool.

Thanks for the questions!

Thank you, for govt employees aloowing only .gov email addresses and then cross referencing public records seems like the way to go!

I'll look up some services for the civilian side.

Appreciate all the responses

This is great, thank you, these seem like the solutions with least technical overhead for me.

I imagine the credit card charge may introduce UX friction, so perhaps we can also allow users to provide a picture of mail with their name and address.

Whats one thing that generally surprises people the most about their finances?

Also, I have alot of friends who dont put much thought into their finances. Is there a way for me, as their friend, to put in general/non-personal info about my friends and send them a summary of deals/credit/cards/savings/etc they're missing out on?

I'm on a similar boat. Vegan for +10 years, I fast one day a week and aim to keep carbs under 20 grams the day after, I feel my great during those 2 days. I would like to make the switch into full vegan keto, but I've yet to find a plan that I feel would cover my nutritional bases and that I could maintain on a low-budget.

Let me know if you make any headway! /r/veganketo helps.

p.s. I recently found that dumpster diving asian supermarkets I can get infinite supply of still-fresh packaged tofu, that has sure been helping!
