Great idea! I've been looking for something like this for a long time.

We used React for the frontend and a Python/Flask backend with a PostgreSQL database. Alerts are sent using Twilio for SMS and NGROK for email.

We have a built-in encryption mechanism for user data that only the individual user can decrypt. In addition, we have OAuth for Google/Microsoft login as an option alongside traditional email and password login.

Implementing user-level encryption for data can be done through libraries such as cryptography for Python or crypto-js for JavaScript. Make sure to use secure random number generators when creating encryption keys and implement a secure key management system.

Any plans on incorporating other financial tools and services into this dashboard in the future?

Yes, we plan to incorporate budgeting tools, debt reduction strategies, and categorization of spending. We'd also like to add a community feature where users can share and discuss financial wins and lessons learned.
