For example, you can sort by the amount to see what are the most expensive bills you can group by the bills by who paid for them to easily figure out who paid what etc. That’s it! I literally spent less than 2 hours to build this bill split app and it does exactly what our old web application used to do for us.Īs you can see, with the table itself, you can already easily manage and track your bills. All you have to do is to set up a Airtable base/table, and write up a simple custom app.
Things like setting up a database in the cloud, spinning up backend services and deploying the application etc are no longer needed. I realized that all those weeks of hard work we put together to build that web application could simply be replaced by Airtable. After learning Airtable and it’s powerful custom app feature, my mind was blown. After a few weeks of hard work, we built it! It made our lives so much easier and we all felt like a genius 😎 This process took a lot of our time which we could’ve otherwise spent playing games and was such a pain in the ass.Īs CS majored students, we decided to build a web application to track our expenses and settle the bills for us automatically. As you can imagine, we shared a lot of expenses together, from rent, internet to groceries and parking tickets 😜 Once in a while, we would sit together, figure out who paid what, do the math and transfer money to each other. Back in college in 2012, I used to live in a house with 3 other roommates.
