Tripl
AI-powered HSA expense tracker. Receipt scanning, FIFO reimbursement, growth projections, tax year reports. I had an oh-shit moment with Claude Code and built the whole thing solo.
Challenge
HSAs offer a triple tax advantage, but most people don't track their expenses well enough to use it. I had a crappy Google Sheet with a script that barely worked. I needed something real. Receipt scanning, expense categories, FIFO reimbursement tracking, growth projections.
Approach
Built the whole thing solo. Next.js, Supabase for auth and storage, Claude AI for receipt parsing. Drag-and-drop upload, FIFO reimbursement, QR code phone camera upload, inbound email processing via Cloudflare Workers, branded PDF tax year reports, and growth projections. Deployed on Vercel with Cloudflare DNS.
Impact
Tripl is live at triplapp.com. Real users, real auth, real file processing (PDF, HEIC, images), real tax documents. It handles everything from infrastructure to the AI integration to the UX.
Reflection
I started this because I had a crappy Google Sheet. Then I downloaded Claude Code and had a working product within an hour. That was my oh-shit moment. It showed me that if I'm not using these tools, I'm going to get left behind. That's the real reason I built it.
