I feel like they aren't even trying with the categorization. Every payday, I get an email notification from Mint asking if I recently made a large purchase, in the amount of my paycheck. Why even bother having a transaction categorizat

All for projects in this space, but you're going to generate so much confusion naming it the same thing as Eli Bendersky's pycparser (which you even acknowledge the existence of in your Similar Projects section). The alternate cap

Around the time of the Equifax breach, there was a discussion here that put it succinctly. "Identity theft" is just a clever name for "fraud" that shifts the responsibility away from the bank.
