Financier Forums

And here’s a screenshot.

FYI, I created a "mobile-dev" Slack channel: https://financierteam.slack.com/. If you have issues or suggestions, sometimes it's easier to chat and share screenshots.

v0.4.3/v0.4.4 released: Added green bubbles around positive budget balances, and dimmed budget and outflow values that are zero. Also removed currency symbols from budget, outflow, and balance values to conserve space, and because the main app does it.

v0.4.5 released: On a roll today... The budget view now shows a small red triangle in the top right when the current month is selected. The color theme for the budget view lightens when viewing previous months. And last but not least, clicking the selected month indicator (between the previous/next month buttons) jumps to the current month.

That's all you get out of me today...

I really need to spend the time to test this out... Good work @asromzek!

@Joel, besides mobile transaction entry and scheduled transactions (I have a few ideas brewing for that), what are your other minimum requirements for retiring YNAB4?

I can’t recall. Life has been far too busy to give it much thought. Scheduled transactions are very important to me.

Payee rules are another frequently used feature from 4 that could really push me over the edge.

Can ofx files be imported? I think that was another important need.

There may be other items, but I can’t recall.

Wednesday update: Not much to report. Work has been a little more than crazy this week, and free time has been in short supply. I have been thinking a lot about the budget editor, and I need to do some maintenance on the transactions editor to allow you to set/change the account. This will be required when adding transactions from the budget view, and may also be used to move a transaction between accounts.

Besides that, are there any other issues with the budget view (layout, colors, etc.) that I should resolve before moving on to building the editor?

No issues that i can see or think of at the moment, its running really well!

Actually I just found one thing that could be tweaked a little better, if you enter a really long memo it doesn't wrap to the next line very well and makes it look really messy. Might be better to truncate it with some ... At the end or something like that.

It’s funny you mention it, since that has annoyed me since day 1, and I forgot to add an issue on the Gitlab board to fix it.

The category and memo snap to opposite corners and are allowed to overlap. I need to revamp the transaction layout and implement a fancy grid which will provide the ability to limit the width of the memo if it runs into the category. I’ve been learning a lot abou CSS through the design of this thing, so there are a quite a few things that I will likely go back and make right.

Lol i thought it was just me...

v0.4.6 released: Minor layout cleanup throughout the transaction editor. The category editor wraps amounts in red or green bubbles to match the budget view, although the text is a little bigger. The transaction editor does not jump to the category editor if editing an off budget transaction, or if the transaction is a transfer. Restructured a bunch of source files to pave the way for adding the ability to edit the account for a transaction. This will allow you to move transactions between accounts, and add new transaction from the budget view.

I was hoping to have the account editing done today, but some stuff came up this evening, so I'm releasing what I have done so far this weekend (not much).

Well, I managed to break free from the other commitments, and spent a few hours wrapping up some development tasks...

v0.4.7/v0.4.8 released: The account editor has been completed, making it possible to move transactions between accounts. A warning will be displayed when changing the account in the transaction editor. Category validation has also been enhanced, which will inhibit the submission of transactions without categories. If you do manage to enter a transaction without a required category (there are some obscure ways), then an appropriate "Category Required" message will be displayed in a variety locations. There are still further validation enhancements to be made in the transaction editor, especially in the split transaction editor (I haven't touched that lately). I'll may put that stuff on the back burner until budget editor is fully functional, which is coming up next.

Edit: Just fixed a bug that was causing the transaction editor to skip jumping to the category editor in certain cases.
