I built a small web app that helps answer one question before buying something:
“Can I actually afford this?”
You enter a price, and it shows how risky the purchase is based on a sample monthly budget, plus gentle nudges like the 72-hour rule. It’s not budgeting and doesn’t connect to banks — it’s more about awareness and behavior.
I built this because I kept impulse buying and wanted a simple pause mechanism.
It’s very early (just a landing page + demo right now), but I’d love feedback on:
does the idea make sense?
is the UX confusing?
What would make this actually useful?
Happy to answer any questions. Thanks for checking it out.
