Hey!
Love what your creating here and taking everyone's input.
I'd like to see a scheduled transaction calendar. I have an iPhone and like the way the monthly calendar works as an example. But, I thought I'd take a stab at using paint - "limited" experience with copy/paste but feel the gong show I created describes what I'd like to see better than I can explain it.

I hope this works!
To clarify my picture:
The calendar only would be visible. Once you click on the little colored circle, the transaction, you'd be taken to either a transaction entry or to the transaction itself.
Hmmm, interesting. I was considering having a transaction calendar thing, but it would probably be a separate view or a modal or something. I have been considering putting something in that giant white box, but every time I try it just ends up making the UI confusing (makes it look less like a table).
Scheduled transactions will probably start by being similar to how you currently enter normal transactions, although they will probably have their own partition of the register.
Thanks for the idea! :D
That empty space does stand out to me as well.
I think the idea of having a calendar showing is neat. However, with the header bar collapsed that space is relatively small for me already. Not sure if there would be enough room for a calendar.

Please give them their own partition that can be collapsed/hidden. I absolutely hate how nYNAB doesn't give them a separate area.

I was intrigued by the way they did it in nynab. It looks like this is the reason they don't have future transactions count in the register -- It would not make sense for a scheduled transaction to count in the future. However, it does make sense to allow users to make regular future transactions count in the register which is why I think their solution is not as good as YNAB 4's.
TLDR yeah it'll be a separate section (since scheduled transactions (at least the "spawner" that creates normal transactions) are "special" etc etc -- doesn't make sense to have them with all of the other transactions). :)
@DaddyGFamily Are you thinking something similar to the Mint.com Bill view? (attached)
@Joel Yes, definitely their own partition!
I also like the idea of visualizing spending, perhaps in histogram view of the month?
I think some form of calendar view would be great. It would further differentiate Financier from YNAB, and it's definitely a neat opportunity.
