I always hate how people always jump to "but inflation..." or "12% is not realistic...". Ok, maybe 12% isn't reasonable and $1M won't be as much decades from now. But having $500k or $750k or however much you end up saving by saving a few bucks each day could still be a pretty good chunk of change when you are ready to retire! That's much more than $0! The earlier you start, let's say when you're 18 buying a $5 cup of coffee and not really thinking about retirement, gives you more time to build wealth when you're ready to retire.
As more people start to reach retirement age, there's going to be a lot of people surprised to realize they can't afford to retire. With few companies offering pensions and some uncertainty about social security with Baby Boomers reaching retirement age, millennials better start thinking about how they can retire as soon as possible. Saving a few bucks each day (whether it is by giving up fancy coffee or something else) can be a great way to get started!
I mostly built it just to get some experience building something using Stripe and was not really intended to make a huge amount of money. But Im not sure if anybody has really used it. Im guessing the novelty of sending people pictures of things from a random number has worn off.
Also it would be nice if Ally was a bank you could link directly with... but I understand if there is some technical issues that prevent certain banks from being able to link automatically.

Im glad you mentioned math formulas. One thing I can't do, that would be nice to do in Notes is someway to do math. I like to calculate what each contestant should bet for Final Jeopardy! and it's hard to do it in Notes.
