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 ๐Ÿ˜ผ 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! ๐Ÿ˜ธ- 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 ๐Ÿ˜ข

@ambonium @rrhoover @kasperdolk evil *genius*, I'd sayโ€ฆ

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!
Kasper Dolk
@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 is great! Would it be possible to enter the name of a person without having them as a contact in future?
Kasper Dolk
@iamsebj Hi Seb, thanks for the feedback. We will look in to it! - Kasper

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

Congrats on the launch @kasperdolk and @jordysinke! This looks beautiful! Student makers FTW (I'm 17 btw) ๐Ÿค˜ :') 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 ๐Ÿ˜
Kasper Dolk
@ambonium @jordysinke @rrhoover Thank you so much Amirth! I will sent a mail to you regarding to that offer. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

this would be a great addition to an app like nextdoor where lots of folks are loaning things to nearby neighbors

@kasperdolk i just uploaded video and mentioned your app, please have a look https://youtu.be/KaNmJugHaCA

Cool idea, but what's to prevent a user from randomly creating a lot of fake entries that their friend might not owe, probably just to spam/prank their friend? And if the friend has to approve/accept the owes, what's to prevent the friend from not approving/accepting the owes, probably because they have no plan to pay. Haha

How did this get 444 upvotes? It's just a glorified notes app...

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

will be useful when sharing books with friends, it's so difficult to get your book back!

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

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
