I've got a bunch of movies and books that people borrow and I have a hard time remembering who has what when. Especially with the book my students check out. I'd like to see them build on the library feature more. Perhaps making it categorizable by more than just media type. Anyone know of other personal inventory services out there for comparison?

The transaction entering interface is quite nifty and all JS - so, very fast. Also, it has a concept of groups where if A pays $10 to B, B pays $10 to C and if C pays $10 to A, the debts all cancel out automatically. It really reduces actual money transactions by quite a bit... I have been using Buxfer (http://www.buxfer.com) and I find it quite convenient.
