   Thanks for the response! It's a lot to think about. And also worth keeping in mind that optimizations like these probably wouldn't generalize well to international use cases; it would be special-snowflake US stuff. I'll try t

   A bit over 1,200 hours so far... but I only tracked actual coding time, and not time spent answering questions, brainstorming new ideas, meeting with people, casually testing stuff, wrangling images, etc.

   Good to know, what I'll do is disable auto-advance on mobile specifically.

   What's your take on the utility of researching and implementing feature-sets like what fsflyer was asking for? e.g. optimization techniques and tricks based on current country-specific tax codes, such as carefully timed roth conversion

   Thanks! And just in case you haven't seen them, let me know if these FAQ topics help a little: https://projectionlab.com?help=enter-data https://projectionlab.com?help=data-security https://projection

   Sure thing, and that's good to know! I suppose the ease of entering your positions also greatly depends on how many you have. Maybe supporting some kind of format to import from would help there.

   Before I added code-splitting a while back to improve my original lighthouse score, you actually used to be able to load the app and then disconnect from your network and still do everything except save to the cloud. In fact, you still can

   I've had a few people suggest something like this in the past, and if it's not on changemap already feel free to add an item for it. I'm still trying to work out if it would be useful enough to implement though, i.e. if peopl

    Thanks for sharing your perspective! It's always interesting to see among the flood of feature requests and suggestions that occasionally some people would prefer fewer features and more simplicity haha. Do you think there could be a p

    One of the nice things about being a solo dev building this as a side project is that I don't have investors I need to pay back, and so far operating costs are pretty minimal :)

    I did like the name ProjectiFi (when pronounced correctly), but I found it had too many readability issues. A lot of people missed the first "i" and thought it was Project Fi, and others would say "Project i-Fi", like so

    How would you recommend enforcing a limit on number of localStorage saves? If the number was held in localStorage as well, that's easily circumvented, and even if the save number was stored in Firebase and associated with the auth ID f

    Letting the user pick from preset mortality tables seems like a pretty sensible approach to me. Thanks for the link; bookmarked!

    Anyone happen to know what the standard is for when something officially counts as data collection? i.e. do you always have to send things sever-side before it counts? With all the fuss about things like cookies, I wouldn't even be tha

    Maybe hold off on that Roadster then ;) Or if you're saying you think there's a bug, happy to help troubleshoot; I know there are lots of inputs haha

    Any data yet on how that model tends to play out over the long-run in the average case? Off the cuff it does sound like incentives could be better aligned though.

    It's true, broad stats aren't great predictors of individual outcomes. Or at least that's what I like to tell myself haha, though at times I worry it's tough to distinguish from "yeah, but it won't happen to me

    I dread the idea of having to navigate the current US healthcare system in circumstances like that. One drawback that occurs to me about the idea of projecting lifespan/healthspan is that with the data you'd need, you get into PHI

    Sounds good; feel free to add that feature idea to changemap if you want! Or I can take a note to do it when I get a chance.

    Huh, I figured Thor would have had you set up pretty good by now... kidding aside though, if you have any thoughts on how I could do better with the UI to ease the existential dread a little, always open to feedback!

    Happy you like it so far! Have you seen the Advanced editor I added recently to control precisely how things like investment returns, accounts, income, and expenses change over time? When you open up the full dialog for that, I bet that con

    Thanks; glad you like it! I think there's still some room for improvement in the mobile version. To me it definitely doesn't feel like a "mobile first" experience... but it is serviceable at least.

    Hmm is it possible you just had the frequency wrong on an expense type or something along those lines? e.g. yearly amount specified monthly/daily by accident? Or a dollar amount put into a percent field? I've added warnings in som

    That was indeed nontrivial haha. Did you try running it as a PWA? I've noticed there's a bit of weirdness in mobile browsers where content shifts/clips when you scroll sometimes; haven't dug into what's going on the

    There's always the yearly/lifetime options if monthly gives you pause. Would you suggest adding a lower tier lifetime option with just saving?

    I appreciate it! And if you have any other feature ideas or suggestions, reach out any time.

    I guess it's those few years of increased stress that make the time sound less "prime" haha. As an adult I've always needed good sleep to function well, and can't help but worry my kid would be as much of a wretch a

    If you feel like there's something amiss, always happy to help troubleshoot. There are definitely a lot of inputs, so there are quite a few places where an errant input could have a large effect on the long-term outlook. When you say &

    For what it's worth, data already stays client-side by default. If you upgrade and enable saving, you can choose from localStorage only, cloud sync, or manually importing/exporting JSON files.
