Thanks Herby. You might try asking billmonk for their algorithm =).

But in all seriousness, thanks for the responses and the effort to add features. Let me know if there's any way I can help and I'm looking forward to the shuffle feature!

How many people are working on TabSplit with you?

Hi Herby,

You're right, it may not decrease the # of debts or totals outside of a context group, but for the most part all our transactions involve people in our "context group" on something like Billmonk. Implicitly, everyone in the context group knows each other and is OK shuffling debts (to address the annoying point). And while the feature wouldn't work globally, it would help tremendously within a context group (to decrease # and total amount of debts).

Herby,

I was imagining scenario 1 more than scenario 2. Currently billmonk lets you shuffle debts between any contacts (which can be annoying, to your point). It does not let you turn shuffling on or off for specific contacts; it only has an overall shuffling on/off switch.

Would it be possible to implement shuffling in a context group only? It may be more difficult but I think the code shouldn't be too hard. The reason is that this is the biggest holdup my group of friends (and others I've talked to) have with switching over from Billmonk. They like the debt shuffle feature so it would be great to get this on Tabsplit and start using it. And yes, the point would be to decrease the total debts outstanding.

Thanks,

Prashant

Is there a way to shuffle debts between contacts or a context group? If not, is that feature coming soon?
