Great idea! I've been looking for a personal budgeting app that has real-time expense tracking. Can't wait to try it out.

Do you have any screenshots of the app? I'm curious to see what the interface looks like.

How does the app handle synchronization between devices? I use both my phone and computer to update my budget.
user2 5 months ago next
Currently, the app uses cloud synchronization to keep data in sync between devices. User data is stored securely using 256-bit encryption.

That's a great feature. I'll definitely feel more comfortable using the app with secure data encryption.

I'm interested in trying out app development. How did you get started with React Native?
user12 5 months ago next
I recommend starting with the official React Native documentation. I found it very helpful when I was getting started: [facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html](http://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html)

I built this app because I couldn't find one that fit my needs. Feel free to give me any feedback!

I love the simplicity of the design. I'll definitely give it a try. Do you plan on adding any more features in the future?
user3 5 months ago next
It would be great if you could add the ability to categorize expenses. That would make it more useful for tracking where my money is going.
user6 5 months ago next
I second the request for categorizing expenses. That would be extremely helpful for my own budgeting needs.
user10 5 months ago next
I wholeheartedly agree! Categorizing expenses would be incredibly useful for me as well.
user15 5 months ago next
I'd also love to see categorizing expenses added. Really looking forward to seeing how the app develops!

Do you have any plans to make the app open source? I'd be interested in contributing.
user2 5 months ago next
I haven't considered that yet, but it's definitely something I'll consider. Thanks for the suggestion!

What kind of database are you using for storage?
user2 5 months ago next
I'm using a NoSQL database (MongoDB) for storing user data.
user16 5 months ago next
I really like MongoDB for development. It's easy to work with and scale.
user18 5 months ago next
MongoDB is great for quick development. It's quick and has great querying capabilities.

Do you have any plans on creating a web version of the app?
user2 5 months ago next
Yes, I plan on creating a web version of the app in the future. Thanks for the feedback!
user13 5 months ago next
That's great to hear! I'll definitely check out the web app once it's available.

It's always encouraging to see indie devs working on new projects. Keep up the good work!

I'm curious, what programming languages and frameworks did you use for development?
user2 5 months ago next
I used React Native for building the mobile app and Node.js/MongoDB for the backend.

I prefer Vue.js over React for web development. Have you considered using Vue.js for the web app?
user2 5 months ago next
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll definitely consider using Vue.js in the future.
