I am traveling throughout Mexico for a year and I would
contribute data to you if you made it easier for me. It seems at this point and given the age of your company, you should be able to receive photos of receipts and pull data from those. I think if you made it easier for people you would have so much more data and a much more accurate and valuable product.Are you working on something like that? And please don’t tell me it can’t be done because I know it can.
