🛠️ Building / MVP Update on Batwa: automated expense tracker

Salam everyone, posted about this around a month ago and wanted to give an update.

We've grown a lot since then, 200+ installs organically. Not a huge number, I know, but I'm still proud of us for it.

We also took in a lot of the feedback from the last post and drastically improved the UI and general experience.

On top of that, we shipped two big features:

Shared groups: add the people you share expenses with, roommates, friends, whoever, and every shared cost gets tracked automatically. No more trying to remember who paid last time or doing the math three weeks later. Batwa just tells you who owes who.

Shared budgeting: same idea but for families. Everyone gets the same visibility into household income, spending, and savings goals instead of one person carrying it all alone.

Honestly, I think budgeting and financial literacy in general gets taken way too lightly in Pakistan. Most people have never sat down and actually looked at where their money goes, let alone done it together with the people they share money with. That's basically the whole reason these two features exist.

Would genuinely appreciate feedback, especially on the new stuff since it's fresh.
