Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

• The text ${payer} owes ${amount} is confusing when looking from the requestor's perspective.

What is the root cause of that problem?

• The text is confusing because it is written from the perspective of the payer, not the requestor.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

• The text should be written from the perspective of the requestor. Like You owe ${amount}.
• For the payer, the text should be same ${payer} owes ${amount}.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

• N/A
