Hello budgeters!

I hope you all enjoyed the last blog post focused on how to use goal templates. If you haven't read it yet, you might want to start here. While we always recommend embracing the envelope system and getting a month ahead on your budget, there are some situations where that just isn't possible right away. I'm going to introduce a method here that uses the goal template system that uses your income as you receive it throughout the month using priorities.

We are introducing a new policy for managing experimental features. This is to ensure the codebase does not become cluttered with unfinished features.

The short version is:

  • abandoned experimental features will be removed from the codebase
  • experimental features cannot be used as a toggle for small visual and/or functional quirks (i.e should category selector show hidden categories or not?)

Read more in the feature flags page.
