Show HN: Lost $500 because I couldn't find a receipt – built SlipCrate

3•akash-bilung•4mo ago
Hi HN,

Last year, my washing machine broke. It was still under warranty, but I couldn't find the receipt anywhere. Ended up paying ~$500 for a repair that should've been free.

That stung — so I built SlipCrate to avoid it happening again.

Here's what it does:

- You upload receipts (photo or PDF). - It extracts purchase + warranty details automatically. - Everything is stored in one place. - It reminds you before warranties expire. - Works as a web app (installable on phone as a PWA).

I've kept it simple — not another "all-in-one finance app," just a focused tool to stop losing money because of misplaced receipts or forgotten warranty dates.

Try it here: https://slipcrate.com (It's free to try, early testers get a discount code for premium.)

Thanks for reading — and if this saves even one person from paying out of pocket like I did, it'll be worth it.

Looks good! Appreciate that it’s a pwa instead of an app because it’d be something I use rarely. My issue isnt with the app, it’s that I’d have to remember to upload a receipt and also to find it in this app if I needed it again.
akash-bilung•4mo ago
Totally get that, most of us don't want a full app for something we use rarely. That's why I kept it as a PWA as it installs in KBs and doesn't take real storage.

On the "having to remember" part: if you've uploaded a receipt once, SlipCrate sends expiry nudges (30, 15, 7, and 1 day before). I can include the app name in the notification so it's obvious where it came from.

I'm also exploring light-touch options so you don't have to remember at all: optional monthly email/push "bought anything new?" reminder, email-forwarding of receipts, or a unique upload address. If you had to pick one "least annoying" flow, which would it be?

jollyjerry•4mo ago
From a PWA, I'd prefer a push notification, but you'd get a different answer from each person you ask.
akash-bilung•4mo ago
I agree, I'll need to figure out a viable option.
unstatusthequo•4mo ago
Unsure why I have to do this: https://slipcrate.com/
akash-bilung•4mo ago
Not sure if I understand this, Do you mean why you need to use the app?
nenenejej•4mo ago
The same tech stack could do a lot more? Track any scan + receipt scenario. E.g. receipts for expense claims (tax, insurance, work). Keep official doc scans you often need for verification flows safe like passport.
