Every Splitwise feature, free
The goal from the start: everything people use Splitwise for, at no cost, plus things it doesn't do, like a personal daily spending list with an insight graph.

Groups that read like a chat
Group transactions show up as chat bubbles, with split sessions for trips and dinners, manual or automatic shares, and a contact picker to add friends.

Running a four-person project
Twenty-six branches and thirty-nine pull requests, all reviewed and merged by me. Teammates built features like the Android home-screen spending chart while I kept the architecture and the release in one piece.

Paid back, and everyone knows
Transfers notify the other person through Firebase Cloud Messaging, sent from Cloud Functions. Spending statistics got AI-written insights from a Llama model through Groq.
$ git log feat: implement FCM token handling and notification sending for user transfers; add NotificationModel and Firebase functions API
