Hello to everyone from LifeHacker, Delicious Popular, Kedrosky, and everywhere else. Today we launched Xpenser to the world, and in a few short hours we’ve quintupled our beta test user base. It’s great to have you here.

This is the inaugural post, the start of the conversation. We like nothing more than hearing from you. This blog will be a way for us to inform you of news, new features, fixes, etc. But more importantly, it’ll be a way for you to tell us what you think, what we need to implement and improve, and anything else that’s on your mind.

A couple of quick notes while we’re here -

Several people have pointed out issues with Jott integration. We’re looking into this and hope to provide a better solution soon.

Our non-US users are asking how they can make use of SMS. Unfortunately SMS is currently only supported in US and Canada, but we’re working on an international solution.
There have been several questions on integrating with other services and products (eg. quicken). At Xpenser we realize your data belongs to you and we’ll never attempt to keep it trapped. You can already download your expenses as Comma Separated Values (csv), which can easily be imported into Excel, and we’re working on integration with a number of other products. We also have RESTish/JSON APIs under the hood, although they’re not quite documented for external use yet.

Let us know which integrations are most important to you; leave a comment here, or email us at feedback@xpenser.com .

So take a moment to let us know what’s important to you. Here are a couple of existing suggestions, and we’ll look forward to more from you. Leave a comment with which you want first:

Integrate with:

• Twitter, Jaiku

• Quicken, QuickBooks

• FreshBooks, Basecamp

• Document and release the Xpenser APIs
