Cheqmate: Split and Discover

What features on Cheqmate are you most interested in?
I'm particularly interested in the bill-splitting feature because it's a real problem that comes up whenever groups go out together. In fact, I built my own custom spreadsheet to calculate restaurant bills down to the cent, including proportional tax and tip allocations. I'm also interested in the recommendation and discovery features because I enjoy finding places that match my personal preferences rather than relying on generic rankings.

What makes a TikTok or Instagram video go viral?
A strong hook in the first few seconds is one of the most important factors because it determines whether viewers keep watching or swipe away. Beyond that, videos perform best when they provide value and make viewers feel like the content is speaking directly to them. For a platform like Cheqmate, I think content that showcases real experiences, hidden gems, and useful recommendations would resonate more than content that feels overly scripted or promotional.

How often do you and your friends go out and enjoy finding new places?
My friends and I regularly go out on weekends to restaurants, cafes, gyms, and other spots around the city. While we have our favorite places, we also enjoy trying new locations when someone discovers a recommendation worth checking out. I especially enjoy trying places through friends because personal recommendations tend to be more reliable than random online reviews.
