I thought it’d be cool to have a small textual language where you could describe “this payment goes out every quarter” and “this one goes out monthly from date X to Y” and so on. As a freelancer it can be difficult to know how much cash you have available given taxes go out at weird times, and it’s useful to simulate “let’s delete this row where the customer pays” to stress test your finances and so on.
I also wanted it to be “privacy-first” because I figured I wouldn’t trust my financial data to a random person on the internet, so neither would I expect anyone else to.
So I created this site and put it online but I’m a developer, not a marketer. I did a “Show HN”, it got some nice comments but not much traction.
Not sure if I should spend effort marketing it. It’s just a free site so I’m only doing this for fun. Or maybe the product is wrong and needs changes e.g. more features.
Difficult to know what to do. Advice appreciated!

- adrianmsmith 3y agoThanks, yeah that’s not the first time I’ve heard that. On my computer, and I think on most people’s computers, it loads instantly. But on others it basically crashes the tab, like it goes into an infinite loop or something. A bit difficult to test without adding debugging tools, apparently Sentry is a good one?, which would definitely conflict with the privacy-first approach. I’ll have to ask more friends, maybe one of them can reproduce the problem. Anyway thanks for trying it and commenting!

- robertlagrant 3y agoSentry would be a good bet, yes.

- seabass 3y agoIn Chrome the page just never arrives. No client-rendered loading spinner, just a tab that seems to want to crash. In Safari, after a decent wait, the page arrives and then there's a loading spinner. After 30 seconds of that, nothing seemed to happen.
