Ask HN: Rate my small budgeting web app
I put http://ldv.heroku.com together to solve a personal problem, managing the money I've set aside for various purposes.
Any feedback is useful. Note that it's still a bit unpolished (built it in only a day or so). Is this app to small (feature-lacking) in your opinion? Is it useful to anyone besides myself?

The contrast between the font color and background is too low, so it's hard to read, and your screenshots are highly compressed so I can't read them either. If I was a random customer I'd click back before even bothering with the screencast. Also, the name lowlydisparateventures doesn't really inspire confidence. Is that the name of the budgeting app or a different company? Bottom line, you need to describe what this thing does in one easy-to-read sentence before expecting me to bother sitting through a 2-minute video.

Maybe have an open access version that doesn't save state and has a budge limit like $20, just so people can quickly get a feel for what it does. That could be complemented by the video Doing > viewing

But typically when you use black background you should make fore colors more readable. As soon as I went to your web app, i immediately felt uncomfortable. just my 2c
