Thanks - I'd rather not go into details about the backend stack publicly given the nature of the app -- requires intense paranoia about security, but hit me up on Twitter. @Budgetable

Thanks for the feedback -- like I said, the actual app is SSL, but you make a good point in that it's probably a good idea to have https for even the "static" landing pages.

Sure - and thanks for the comments/feedback. Yup, I built Budgetable by myself over the past year or so... I do UI and backend work so it worked out well.
I really tried to focus on making budgeting work.. to be honest, it was a very difficult task.. it's just a difficult problem to solve across the board (i.e., something that works for most people).
After getting through the beta, my focus will be on mobile.

In addition to addressing about the ~10,000 common problems which are unresolved on Mint's support site? http://satisfaction.mint.com/mint
Deal alerts on your favorite stores, detects wasteful spending, a budget that actually works, deal aware transactions, API, Many many more charts/graphs, etc

Not yet, but it's a top priority of course.
Re:Show HN: Budgetable (It's better than Mint)

Yeah, still need to do some A/B testing around that.

The actual web app is https. Thanks for the feedback.

Aggregates all your accounts, balances, net worth charts, budgets... all that good stuff. It's fully functional personal finance software.

Thanks for discovering that. I'll get it fixed.

Thanks for the feedback -- I'm going to do some A/B testing with that title text. It's definitely a difficult thing to get right.

There is so much innovation that can and needs to be done in the online banking space, Mint hasn't innovated in years, so I decided to.Some of my experiments...http://budgetable.com

Thanks for the feedback. This is a feature we're experimenting with. I think its appeal will be dependent mostly on its accuracy.. it's pretty accurate, but there will be room for improvements.

Awesome UI - Nicely done. Fancy UX always has its limitations but also serve as exploration into future trends, etc.

Re:Multi-Region Latency Based Routing now Available for AWS
on Wednesday March 21, 2012 @10:25PM (#3738042)
Most sites with the kind of traffic that could potentially run up the bill thousands of dollars will have checks in place to ensure a mistake like that wouldn't happen. Anything else would be irresponsible.. I'd challenge your assumption that Amazon is intentionally trying capitalize on mistakes... A company a big as Amazon doesn't have the time or need to even consider something like that.. And yes, I think you're being paranoid.
Re:Show HN: ABBA - Beautiful, open-source A/B test calculator

Perhaps lighten up the "What is ABBA" section.. it's pretty technical and I can see it scaring people off.

Please change the vote icon.. it looks just like the expand/collapse icon in OSX.. The indented replies make it even more confusing. Either that or get Apple to change theirs :p

No. Just keep an eye on it.. it's cheap :p

I am utterly floored by the frequency at which new features are being released for AWS... Are you Amazon people getting any sleep?

Hmm... I have to disagree with you here. There is a title and a subtitle above the video. Those two elements provide enough information for the user to determine if they want to watch the video. Captions would still be a plus, though.
Re:What's that?
on Wednesday March 21, 2012 @07:35PM (#3737407)
We just released an app intro video at Budgetable http://budgetable.com ... Adding captions didn't even cross my mind, but we'll do it.
