   Thanks so much! Comments like this are a big part of what makes it possible for me to keep consistently carving out the time on nights/weekends :) And to your point on data entry, I should probably go back and look at all the forms and

   To circle back and add a little more detail here, you'll notice it's mostly front-end (by design). In addition to Vue.js, Vuetify, Chart.js, and Firebase, I'm using some supporting modules like vuex, vue-router, threads, dayj

   Sure, that would be very doable.

   haha I think I've pretty firmly planted my flag in the territory of not annoying people with calls.

   Makes sense to me! In fact, if you were feeling super motivated, it probably wouldn't be hard to do a JSON export of your ProjectionLab data to see what that format looks like and start putting together a script to transform from one r

   What kind of workflow are you trying to automate? ProjectionLab's current focus is long-term projection/forecasting and planning your whole life based on where you are today and what you want to do. I'd hazard a guess that yo

   Seems like Project Fi predates this; I was just a bit of an idiot at first and didn't realize how common the confusion would be until too late haha. Pronunciation was solid, but readability... not so great.

    To an extent, I was hoping to support use cases like this with the Pro version I rolled out recently. But perhaps I'm currently more out of the loop than you envision, in the sense that I'm not actively pairing people with advisor

    That could be an interesting suggestion to add on changemap. Can't say I'm familiar with the site yet, but what would your vision for a good workflow look like if the right integration was in place?

    Thanks a bunch! Mentioned this below, but as a YNAB user, if you find yourself looking for more options on things like cash-flow priorities, you can check out the early access version here where I just added a few for v3.0.1: https:/&

    Glad you appreciate the snappiness :) that's the product of a lot of deliberation on optimizations and occasional shower thought / moment of inspiration. Maybe what I should do is add another tier that's just persistent stora

    All me actually.. though I do have a couple UX buddies I bounce ideas off from time to time. My programming journey started in middle school coding videogames to play with friends, and perhaps that's always shaped the way I approach pr

    What kind of one-off purchases do you have in mind? Within the plan interface, there are a bunch of expandable columns at the bottom, and within each of those you can create/manage things like types of income, expenses, assets, cash-fl

    If you've still got your plan up, happy to give you an extended trial if you want! But overall I think you're right on both points. I've been wanting to add better support for modeling options for a while; for anyone who&#x27

    It does seem like there are some pretty wild discrepancies in total comp between countries. If the distributed/remote trend continues progressing, I wonder if we'll see things start to equalize at all in our lifetimes, or if there

    Thanks! And I definitely didn't build it with acquisition in mind (or have any experience navigating those waters), but I suppose stranger things have happened haha. My intuition is that big firms/institutions would probably be lo

    Let me know how it goes! One trend I noticed with people coming to this from budgeting apps like YNAB is that sometimes the Cash-Flow Priority system in ProjectionLab takes a minute to grasp. And for emergency fund / cash reserve goals

    Thanks! Did you find the sandbox intuitive? Or did you feel like it needs more persona types? Recently some people expressed they would prefer a parameterized system that tries to dial things in a little closer to their situation... but sin

    I wonder what metrics drive acquisitions like that the most... I would imagine they might look more for products with a huge userbase, stickiness/gamification, or a demonstrably high virality factor, no?

    by scubakid 5y ago

    Sure did! Many of the original comments were tough but fair, and I appreciated that. And if you play around with it some more and end up feeling like it's still rough around the edges, don't hold back.

    Glad you like it so far! Possibly the hardest I've worked on a side project by an order of magnitude... actually maybe that's not true, in years past I did spend an irresponsible amount of time coding video games that no one would

    I haven't given that tool much of a try specifically, but overall I wanted to build something where you could do granular and flexible modeling across multiple scenarios in a modern and responsive UI, where you don't link your acc

    I'm curious to hear more about this "spiral" haha. The way I use it is to create a few different plans and compare between them to assess long-term tradeoffs of different decisions, and come back sometimes to update things an

    What direction did that startup take their product out of curiosity? Did they ditch the projection/forecasting element altogether or still keep a vestige of it?
