I built an AI web-app that ends receipt nightmares for freelancers! (ScanCompta)

Hey guys! I'm a solo-founder and I just launched ScanCompta, a lightweight pre-accounting app for freelancers. You just take a picture of your receipt, and the AI extracts the VAT, dates, and amounts to generate a clean CSV for your accountant.

​Here is a quick Short showing the UI and how fast it works. I'd love your feedback on the video style and the app's UX!

Comment vous organisez vos justificatifs avant d'envoyer tout à votre comptable ?

Les reçus éparpillés entre photos, mails et relevés bancaires, les calculs de TVA à refaire, les kilomètres notés nulle part, c'est un sujet qui revient souvent dans les discussions sur la gestion admin en freelance.

Ce qui m'intéresse vraiment : comment ça se passe concrètement de votre côté la semaine avant d'envoyer vos docs au comptable ? C'est quoi la partie qui vous prend le plus de temps ou qui vous stresse le plus ?

ScanCompta

​I built ScanCompta to answer a very French problem: freelancers here must keep every receipt for 6 years, VAT has three different rates, and most still store paper tickets in a shoebox, retyping everything by hand each quarter.

​While taking a photo to extract the data is handy, the real value is everything that happens after. ScanCompta auto-organizes your expenses into client folders, tracks your mileage, catches duplicate receipts, and at the end of the month, sends your accountant a clean CSV plus all the receipt photos in a single click.

​It works as a web app on any phone, nothing to install. Free tier with 5 scans a month, then €5.99/month for unlimited peace of mind. Built solo in a few weeks, live at scancompta.eu

The boring bugs checklist, the same 90 percent every AI-built app hits

I shipped my first production app recently, built entirely with AI tools as a non developer. In a comment thread about it, a few builders and I realized we all hit almost identical bugs, none of them AI features, all of them boring plumbing. Someone suggested a shared checklist would save more time than any prompting guide, so here it is. My list from one project, real bugs I personally lost hours on.

  1. Phone photos are HEIC. Samsung and iPhone shoot HEIC by default, vision APIs reject it, often silently. Convert to JPEG client side before upload.
  2. The AI invents database columns. Generated code drifts from your actual schema and everything looks fine until runtime. Fix: ask the tool to list every column its code expects, then align the database. Repeat after every big change.
  3. UTC eats the last day of the month. My receipts dated the 31st vanished from monthly exports because month boundaries were computed in UTC and my users are not in UTC. Test the 1st and the 31st explicitly.
  4. Buttons hidden under the mobile nav bar. My validate button existed but lived under the bottom navigation. Users never report it as a hidden button, they just quietly leave. Check every screen on a real phone.
  5. Test keys with live IDs. Payment providers have two parallel universes, test and live. A price id from one does not exist in the other, the error says no such price and you will stare at it for twenty minutes.
  6. Success with no feedback. My scan flow completed server side but the UI stayed stuck at 100 percent forever, nothing failed, nothing confirmed. Every async action needs an explicit success state and an explicit error state.
  7. Row level security says no. If you use RLS, every insert path needs a policy, including storage paths. The error tells you what table, believe it.
  8. Counting the wrong rows. My free quota counted all entries in a table, then I added a new entry type to the same table and it silently ate the quota. When two features share a table, every counter needs a filter.
  9. Files that exist for browsers but not for bots. My sitemap displayed fine in Chrome and returned an empty response to any non browser client, including Google. Serve static files as actual static files, and test with curl, not just your browser.
  10. The homepage was a login wall. Not a bug, but the biggest conversion killer of all, all my promo traffic hit a locked door for days before a stranger pointed it out. Log out and look at your own site.

Add yours in the comments, I will keep the list updated in the post. Let's see if the 90 percent theory holds.

Community additions, credited and growing

From u/Infamous-River-4360, Android and native land: the gesture bar, not just the nav bar, eats bottom buttons on some phones only, safe-area-inset-bottom fixes it but the AI never adds it by default. Native details like splash screen, status bar color and permissions had to be done by hand because the builder kept regenerating over the edits. And RevenueCat silently fails on Android until license testing is set up on Google Play.

From u/Scary_Web, the repeat offenders: idempotency around retries and webhooks, optimistic UI that never reconciles with the server, file size limits that differ between client and backend, and permission gaps between admin accounts and normal users.

From u/larrigan, code quality: the AI duplicates everything, the same style created 37 times, dedupe regularly. And separation of concerns has to be demanded explicitly or debugging becomes a nightmare.

From u/Maxyull, the money rules: never trust a client sent total or price, recompute anything involving money server side. And read every function that uses a privileged key like a suspect until proven innocent, those never show up in browser testing.

From u/Admirable-Future-633, the output contract: every async step should answer five questions, success message, failure message, where the artifact was stored, what needs human review, and what should happen next. Otherwise "it ran" means nothing.

Next step suggested by u/Scary_Web: restructuring this into a release checklist by category, schema, permissions, timezones, uploads, mobile layout, third party environments, visible states. Coming as the list grows.

What I learned shipping a production app with AI coding tools and a vision model as a non developer

I spent the last weeks building and launching a receipt scanning app for French freelancers, entirely with AI tools. Some observations that might interest builders here.

Vision models are genuinely production ready for structured extraction. Gemini reads crumpled paper receipts and returns clean JSON with amount, VAT, date and category, with temperature at 0 it rarely hallucinates values, and when a field is unreadable it returns null instead of inventing. The real failures were never the model. They were the plumbing around it: HEIC photos from phones that the API rejects, base64 encoding breaking on large files, timezone math silently dropping receipts dated the 31st from monthly exports.

The AI coding tool experience is more mixed. It builds impressive UI fast, but it constantly drifted from my actual database schema, inventing column names that did not exist. I would estimate half my debugging time was schema mismatches between generated code and the real database. The workflow that ended up working: ask the tool to list every column its code expects, then align the database manually with SQL.

Biggest surprise overall: the model was the most reliable part of the whole stack. The hard parts were boring engineering problems that existed long before LLMs.

Happy to go deeper on any of this if useful.

Launched ScanCompta on Product Hunt today, receipt scanning for French freelancers

Hey everyone, my first Product Hunt launch is live today. ScanCompta lets French freelancers photograph paper receipts, AI extracts amount, VAT, date and category, and their accountant gets a clean monthly export with all the receipt photos in one click. Built solo in a few weeks with AI tools, I'm not a developer.

The app is in French since the whole VAT logic is local, but the demo video on the page shows the flow in 30 seconds. Would love your feedback on the page itself, the tagline or the pricing, and happy to support your launches too, drop your links.
