Nope. Might want to fix that.

Haha thanks, great catch :) Just patched that up!


Comical. A budgeting app that can't get basic math correct.


Guess it's a good thing I'm not calculating totals by hand within the app! :)


I _wish_ I could have this good an attitude about people being assholes over tiny mistakes I make in public. One rude comment like the GP’s can easily ruin my mood for hours.

People forget that the person on the other side of the keyboard is a human. :(


Totally agree. Having read a lot of similar threads on HN, relentless positivity and humbleness (maybe with a sprinkling of humour) seems to be the solution.

Reminds me a little of being very young, at school, and learning to deal with other kids taking shots to look for a weakness - effectively early mild bullying. Then, again, the rule was stay positive and don’t show them you’re upset, or else they’ve found their weakness... and it will get worse.


Compounding!


I don't even understand how you could get a number not ending in 5 or 0 and think it's remotely correct...


Presumably because they used to have $6 in the copy (or in their head) and fat fingered it.


Probably because they AB tested multiple prices as the article states and settled on the current price and forgot to replace one mention of an older price in the copy. No biggie... doesn't mean that person is dumb.
