Assuming this is an app that tracks favors for the sole reason of saying "you owe me one", I wouldn't use it for friends. gives off a cold & calculating vibe. Maybe track something else like "help me do this": you say you need help with X and your friends pitch in. I'd feel much better helping my friends out. just don't keep score.
- adityar 14y agoif you have the code, then just put it out there. What's the worst that can happen?
- bozho 14y agothe code is not 100% complete. I will put it once it's ready.
- bozho 14y agoThe idea is reverse. It's not about saying "you owe me". It's about "I owe you", so that you don't have to many unreturned favors.
- caw 14y agoFor myself, I don't have too many outstanding favors at any one time. I tend to know who has helped me out. Even had I forgot, I'm sure just talking to the person (or at least when they redeem their favor), I'd remember. That being said, some people might still find it interesting. I might actually use the service in reverse to, but more in a business context. So and so owes me 1, because I did this for them. A sales rep I worked with once gave me 15% on a future order (I could call in that favor whenever), because of some screw ups, so I would definitely record that.
- bozho 14y agothanks, that seems like a good scenario. People that are not actually friends do favors to each other just for that: to get them some day back in return.
