A mashup of Mint.com's data and Simple.com's "Goals" interface[1], in a locally run web-app. I've used Simple's Goals interface as my primary budgeting tool for the past two years with a great deal of success, and want it for ALL my banking. Thus far, this has been the best way forward. It automatically imports my banking data from Mint, then allows me to apply "goals" to the transactions, along with some advanced filtering and matching to automate goal-matching, and "pulling" some of my available funds into goals on a daily basis. I'm sure I'll be tinkering with this throughout the year.
The interface is based on react.js, and it's allowed me to play around with jspm (not ideal - not awful), Baobab (fits me better than flux), react-dnd (confusing, but smart), Javascript es6/es7 (dig it), and localForage (which I already know and love).
Also started working on an Android app that talks to my Anova 1.0 (bluetooth-only) because I wasn't happy with the official Anova app. Was great to learn about controlling a device over bluetooth from Android, which was simultaneously a pain in the ass and easier than I expected.
