What’s Firevalt?

February 3rd, 2006

We’ve been receiving a lot of questions about what Firevalt will do and what features it will have. I think the best way to explain that would be to first give you a little more insight into our beliefs of what a web app should be. We agree with the team at 37signals that a simple and intuitive app that solves one or two problems really well is better than a bloated program doing a mediocre job at solving several problems. We know many people prefer the “do-all” apps with a billion features, but we hope to be a pleasing alternative for those wanting improved usability from their financial management software. We feel that Money and Quicken are just glorified bank statements that replicate much of the same data you can find by just logging into your online bank. Firevalt, on the other hand, will present your finances in a way that will motivate you to improve your financial habits. Its design will make your experience simple and enjoyable.

What are your feelings about simple vs. feature-laden apps?
