FEATURE REQUEST: Running Balance of All Groups with same participants #19

Open
@faxxy01

Description

Would love to be able to see the running balance of all the groups which share the same participants.

Currently it seems balances must be viewed separately, individually. Different groups don't sum their balances to show overall total balance with same participants.

At the moment, "participant ID" is unique to the group, meaning each group is completely isolated from the others. In order to achieve this feature there'd need to be a way of sharing a participantId across groups. The way this is done in other apps such as splitwise is to link group participants to a user account, but I think adding accounts goes against the ethos of this app.

An Idea, (but this is really just one step from user accounts!):

  • When a group link is shared, the receiving user can claim their participant name in the group. This would update the participantID to the user's own uniquely generated participantId, which is saved in local storage. This means we can aggregate balances by participandId
  • When a group is created, the group creator can select from a list of existing participants to link them to the new group. This means new groups can be displayed automatically to existing participants without link sharing.

Pondering the scenario where I use multiple browsers (mobile, laptop). Need to make sure the unique participant ID is the same across browsers I think?

When a group is created, the group creator can select from a list of existing participants to link them to the new group.

Considering privacy here, should only be able to select existing participants who have “shared” with me?

What about a link between grou0s when creating? Same names will be linked automatically, so when creating a group you can add existing group url and if names cooexist then the dept will be linked? Just be sure to use same names?
