This is pretty cool. Unfortunately it's not valuable yet without other people populating it with data. Is there any way you can automatically get a first batch of data into it? Maybe scrape coffee shops from Google Maps and add them as

Say I get lunch on a business trip and lose the receipt, I now can't expense it. In a world where I never keep receipts normally this happens all the time. Being able to recreate a receipt so I can expense looks super cool.

You make enough money that it doesn't matter. When you're buying $60 of groceries a week that now cost $80 and you're buying $30 of gas a week that now costs $40, you're spending an extra $30 a week. You probably don&#x2
