The app is pretty straightforward - I built it with Go and standard templates on the backend, keeping things simple with vanilla JS on the frontend. No fancy frameworks needed. It runs as a PWA so you get that nice native app feel on mobile.
For the receipt scanning magic, I'm using Gemini Flash which has been fantastic. It's incredibly cost effective (we're talking about $0.0001 per scan) and does a great job extracting text from receipts.
Deployment is super smooth with Kamal on a VPS - zero downtime deploys and easy scaling when needed. I really recommend it.
Really happy to dive deeper into any part you're curious about!
