Here's a potentially terrible idea, @kasperdolk: What do you think about making these lists public so that others can see who owes me what? Could be fun, similar to Venmo's public payment feed.

@rrhoover @kasperdolk that's pure evil 😼 but if that's what it takes to get paid back...
Kasper Dolk
@rrhoover That's so cool! Will look in to it very soon! 😸- Kasper
Bret Prins
@rrhoover @kasperdolk How about a timer? Everytime you create a new item, you also get to set a day count until it goes public? Dooms day 😒

@ambonium @rrhoover @kasperdolk evil *genius*, I'd say…

Thanks @bramk for hunting Owy! Hi everyone! My name is Kasper Dolk (16) and I am really excited to launch Owy to the world. I am always lending stuff to my friends: books, cash or other things and most of the time I don't get it back because I forget to text the other person. Today, we've launched Owy: the app to keep track of what people owe you. You can add an item in under 30 seconds and will automatically get a reminder after one week to make sure you won't forget it. You can text the other person with a pre-generated text to get the item back. Our app is free and will always be free. And we don't show ads. We want to make Owy as smart as possible to you and that's why we try to push as much updates as we can. I am really excited to answer your questions. Have a nice day! Kasper

@kasperdolk @bramk only for 10.2 and up? :(
Kunal Bhatia
This is awesome, @kasperdolk! I have the same problem as you. I think it's great you're keeping Owy free, without ads. I owe you ;) What are you hoping to get out of this experience? EDIT: My brother owes me a call. He'll be getting reminders every week!

@kunalslab Owy is a side project which taught me lot: project management, feedback, design and a bit of developement. Hope to make it as useful as possible to a huge group of people. - Kasper

this would be a great addition to an app like nextdoor where lots of folks are loaning things to nearby neighbors
Alexander
I was thinking of the same thing this morningπŸ˜…It's a really needed app in everyday life, thank you!
Kasper Dolk
@alexander_belkin No problem, Alexander. You ask, we deliver. πŸ¦„

This app is beautiful and awesome! I wish there was a way to add things I owe other people though :)
Kasper Dolk

Congrats on the launch @kasperdolk and @jordysinke! This looks beautiful! Student makers FTW (I'm 17 btw) 🀘 :') Let me know if you'd like to be a part of a community I'm building exclusive to student makers from around the world; we'd love to have you guys over! Also, do implement @rrhoover's idea in the subtlest way possible 😏
Kasper Dolk
@ambonium @jordysinke @rrhoover Thank you so much Amirth! I will sent a mail to you regarding to that offer. 😎
Amrith
@kasperdolk @jordysinke @rrhoover not if I mailed you first 😎

How did this get 444 upvotes? It's just a glorified notes app...
braxton
Nice work @kasperdolk! I've needed something like this for a while now but haven't had a good way to recall who owes me something besides pen & paper. Very intuitive!
Kasper Dolk
@3raxton Thank you so much! We really appreciate it! - Kasper
Lisa Dziuba
will be useful when sharing books with friends, it's so difficult to get your book back!

I hope this app was named after Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back intro scene.
Kasper Dolk
@derrrick Haha! We wanted to create a name that's easy to remember and one that has something to do with owing. Owy it is! - Kasper
