AI Analysis

●●●BangerSolve My ProblemSlick

AI receipt scanning + auto-generated warranty claim letters citing local law—solves real consumer friction.

Strengths

•Complaint letter generator citing actual consumer law per jurisdiction (EU directives, etc.) is genuinely novel—not just a template
•Multi-language OCR with thermal receipt handling addresses real-world receipt decay (6-18mo fadeout)
•Elixir/Phoenix stack on single VPS shows restraint—no over-engineering for a focused MVP

Weaknesses

•Free tier (10 items max) is tight—may limit organic adoption vs. more generous freemium competitors
•iOS native app missing despite being mobile-first use case (photo scanning)—web-only for Android limits friction

Post Description

Hi HN. I built Good Til because I could never find my receipts when I needed them, and I just wanted something nice to keep it all organized.

Good Til is a purchase receipt and warranty tracker:

- Snap a receipt photo, AI extracts store, date, items, price. - Tracks warranty deadlines with reminders at 90, 30, and 7 days. - When something breaks, generates a formal complaint letter citing your local consumer law.

Tech: Elixir/Phoenix, Ash Framework, OpenAI for OCR, Stripe for billing. Deployed on a single VPS with blue-green deploys.

Free with manual data entry. Pro is $1.99/mo and includes AI automation. iOS native app is on the todo list, because I just want to scan receipts from my phone.

Would love feedback on the product and landing page.
