It will be exciting to see where these take the general idea of email-based receipt mining; the market seems to remain ripe for development in this area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last year, I announced Shopdeck, an email receipt-filtering app I&#8217;d demo&#8217;d with Zach Graves at iPadDevCamp.
