Sending money internationally.
Comparing products across brands (they all have specs but the way they sort the specs is different and it's a pain to flip through tons of tabs).
Finding a chair to fit my kitchen table (given the dimensions of both).
Diagramming my bedroom to try to figure out if I can build a better bed.
Finding furniture that fits in a given volume (in my case, I want to find a trolley or counter that's Y cm high, at least X cm long, and between Z1 and Z2 cm deep).
- joefarish 13y agoRegarding your first point I recently used www.transferwise.com recently to transfer money from my UK bank account (GBP) to a US bank account (USD). It was pretty quick (took 3 days) and I got a very good rate (taking into account the fees involved). I'd definitely recommend them.

- GFischer 13y agoY combinator startup regalii is working on the first point. https://www.regalii.com/en https://www.regalii.com/en On point 3, have you tried Autodesk Homestyler? I used it for a similar purpose :)
- atgm 13y ago> Y combinator startup regalii is working on the first point. They seem to be aiming to pay bills from the US; I want to send money from another country to the US and just do whatever I want with it. > Autodesk Homestyler I looked it up and it doesn't quite seem to be what I want. For one thing, I live in Japan, so none of my furniture is in the catalog. For another, want to find a chair that physically (not cosmetically) fits my kitchen table. This goes back to my complaint about comparing specs, actually. :)
