Hey all,

Receiptron is a receipt-saving service that works on any smartphone. Just take a picture of your receipt, email it to a unique email address, and it's saved and can be categorized to make tax time so much easier.

I came up with the idea when I saw the giant envelope my girlfriend uses to track her art business expenses, and heard how much she pays to her tax accountant every year to sort through them. Also, I was unemployed at the time, and thought this would be a great portfolio project -- which it was! It significantly contributed to me getting a great job.

There are a million little features I'd like to add and rough edges to sand down, but I'm so close to this project that I know I lack perspective on what's important -- and friends and family can only be so critical; it's usually just empty but well-meaning compliments. I'd love to know what you all think!
