What it does

Astra helps you achieve your personal savings goals — automatically. Simply connect your bank accounts, create savings goals, and manage the movement of your money with programmable “actions” all in one place.

Astra is the vertically integrated payments platform designed for product teams and developers. Get started with a simple API integration and add unparalleled payments speed and security.

Astra is the Payments Cloud: a vertically integrated, compliance-first platform that lets any company move money instantly across any payment rail. One integration, every use case. Your team integrates once. Every payment type after that is a setting you turn on, not a new build. Send funds to any US debit card over Visa Direct and Mastercard Move, with money available the moment it lands. Apply a transfer fee and payouts become a revenue line. Pull money in instantly so the first deposit lands now, not in three to five business days. Activate users before the wait turns them into churn. Same-day clearing and built-in screening on the rail you already use. Ship faster transfers and cut…from astrafi.com

    Hi Hacker News, Gil and Sam here, co-founders of Astra (https://astra.finance).

We built a web app last fall that mirrored a lot of the financial modeling we were doing manually but learned that our users…

    Hi all, founder @ Retool here. We initially launched Retool on HN five years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14515494. The feedback was extraordinarily helpful then (e.g. we launched source control, on-prem, etc. based on HN comments), and we’re grateful for all of it. Today, we’re excited to get HN’s thoughts on one of our new products: Retool Mobile. It lets you build and deploy mobile apps in minutes, not days. The idea is there is a large class of line-of-business mobile apps, and the process of getting a simple form + button on a mobile device, in a native app,…
