Ask HN: Please criticize my idea =) OMyBills.com
- DanielStraight 17y agoAre there still bills that can't be automatically paid?
- w-ll 17y agoWhat. We don't pay the bills. We just bug you to pay them yourself.
- DanielStraight 17y agoWhy would I want a reminder for bills I never have to see or think about because they're already paid automatically? It's not that I think your solution is bad. I just think you're solving a non-problem.
- w-ll 17y agoNot everyone does this. Im a student, i know a lot of students that pay bills the snail-mail way. I could imagine HN has a someone older and more financially stable community.
- teeja 17y agoMe neither ... I never leave the keys to my account in the ignition.
- Travis 17y ago"It's not that I think your solution is bad. I just think you're solving a non-problem." I second this, although for totally different reasons. I use mint.com, the credit card sites, or just gcal with email reminders. I personally wouldn't use something like this -- why use something so specific, when a general tool that I currently use does the exact same thing?
- seasoup 17y agoOnline Bill pay via my bank solves this problem for me. Unless you are targeting individuals that cannot get a bank account or do not want to get a bank account, what's the point? Unless you want to target creditors to automatically send emails to people that owe them money and are late. I know less about that market, but small businesses like chiropractors or dentists might be able to use that. But most people will just hate you.
- billturner 17y ago1) It's "What's the Big Idea?" and not "Whats the Big Idea?". And there are more spelling/grammar issues on the "About" page. 2) The layout seems a bit off: http://i47.tinypic.com/jj7hpg.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/jj7hpg.jpg 3) Many banks now offer this sort of feature with their online banking. What makes yours better or different?

- tdedecko 17y agoThis problem has already been solved sufficiently. I use Google calendar and its reminder feature.
- Nycto 17y agoYou can also get reminders through mint.com
