This looks great - congrats on launching it and getting it to where it is today. I launched a personal financial forecast tool a few years ago with a primary focus being to help people understand the draw down plan. This is not an ad for my product as it's now abandoned (hosting moved to my personal domain). But I wanted to share it with you and see if it's a feature you think makes sense in ProjectionLab. Most tools show charts but I wanted more fidelity and accompanied the chart with a table. Here's what it looks like: https://fiers.jmathai.com/forecast/6020f254b4e8c https://fiers.jmathai.com/forecast/6020f254b4e8c Here is the logic: https://fiers.jmathai.com/article/how-it-works https://fiers.jmathai.com/article/how-it-works Happy to chat more if you're interested - find my contact info in my profile.

This is neat! Do I recognize Chart.js? :) There are a few customizable tables you can view in PL too (e.g. Chart Options > Table View), but I like the way you show deltas in table cells. That's a nice touch. Any particular reason you stopped working on it?

It looks like you may have (or are approaching) cracking that - awesome!! > but I like the way you show deltas in table cells That was mainly to convince myself that the higher level plan actually worked. I really needed to see the details and breakdown for my own sake. > There are a few customizable tables you can view in PL too (e.g. Chart Options > Table View) I haven't used PL before but I'll sign up today and check it out!

    > I really needed to see the details and breakdown for my own sake. I can relate! Making it possible to drill into each simulated year in detail was one of my design goals, and so many times during development/debugging I ended up needing those features myself to figure out what the heck was going on.
