   Landing page site is using v3, but the actual app is still on v2. There are soooo many API / attribute name changes that when I eventually migrate the core app from v2 to v3, I can tell it's going to be a bit of a nightmare :(

   I wonder if the commenter who was talking about dark patterns might look at the notional implementation for this and say it feels like the tool holding your plans hostage. I'm also curious how much you would see yourself returning to t

   Sorry to hear you ran into trouble with the sandbox. Data persistence is a premium feature, but it should warn about unsaved data if you try to close the tab or navigate away. Did that not happen in your case? And if so, what browser/O

   Public speaking is always a bit out of my comfort zone haha, but this year I did go on The FI Show and that turned out to be a pretty good conversation: https://thefishow.com/kyle

   Would you fall into the camp of "make it universally cheaper"? Or carve up the feature set into more tiers with different prices? Curious how you would divvy things up, if the latter. I do also grant general discounts on request (

   Thanks so much! And yep, you should be able to sign up for a month, cancel when you're done, then resubscribe later and pick back up where you left off :) And you can always export your data to JSON too, if you prefer to have a local b

   I'm using Vue.js, Vuetify, Chart.js, Firebase, Paddle, and GCP. PL is pretty client-side-heavy, as alluded to here: https://projectionlab.com/help/enter-data . Happy to field any more questions about the stack if y

   Fair point. There's an item on the roadmap for that you can upvote if you like. It should be trivial, I just haven't found the bandwidth to get to it yet. Just out of curiosity, does your scenario change noticeably if you round to

    Interesting, so you would recommend keeping the floating tour widgets? Some other commenters found those obtrusive... er, I guess "useless" was the precise word haha.

    Thanks, glad to hear it! Is there a specific direction you'd like to see me take PL from here?

    Sounds like you probably have a bad input somewhere. Or perhaps missed a section entirely? If you'd like any help with your scenario, just let me know.

    That could be a good idea, yeah. I think on the whole, PL is at the point now where my engineering abilities have definitely outstripped my marketing/outreach abilities. So I guess I should spend some time really thinking about how to

    Thanks! It's a real passion project of mine. Hoping someday it can maybe grow into a full-time thing.

    The free sandbox does not include data persistence, so if that's something you would like, then signing up for the free trial of Premium would be the next step. And if you want an extended trial beyond the default 7 days, just let me k

    What's your experience been like using account linking in other tools? From what I hear, most of the aggregator services still have frequent enough issues that just taking 10-15 mins to plug your numbers in manually to a tool like PL o

    I've had some less tech savvy users say they appreciated them. Demo videos might be a good alternative though... until other folks roll up and ask for a UI tour to show them where the demo video collection is :P

    If you do the normal walkthrough, currency selector is on the first page. And it can also be accessed any time via the About You screen (either via Current Finances or the account menu in the upper right). Is there another location you&#x27

    So far research and crowdsourcing from the community, but I'd like to get something more automated in place. If you happen to be well-acquainted with the Danish tax system, one option would be to set up custom brackets/rates/

    I know the feeling. The precursor to PL was a hideously complex spreadsheet of my own. You're probably a better spreadsheet wrangler than me, b/c in my case all the formulas eventually got so out-of-hand that it became cumbersome

    Funny enough, "pricing too low" is still a common piece of feedback I get as well. I wonder if the fact that there are now voices on both sides could indicate that it's finally in the right territory. Or perhaps that there sh

    thanks! I sacrificed 2 years of most nights and weekends, with lots of ups and downs, and I'm appreciative of all the feedback from the HN community (both positive and negative) that helped shape the tool into what it is today.

    Renaming Pro to Advisor sounds like it could be an efficient way to remove any possibility of confusion. Thanks!

    Do you feel like it's more the price or the billing frequency options that affect the psychology here? To me, a month of planning for the price of a cocktail sounds about right (esp. when compared with traditional advisory services), b

    Is account linking the primary thing you'd like to see? Or is there another kind of data as well? I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on the back-and-forth in the public roadmap and also the discord related to account linking. Wh

    Yeah I could see that being a nice option to grant the user during checkout. I guess another workaround for now would be to start the trial then cancel right away -- should have the same effect I believe.

    Hmm which OP do you mean? I was referring to karaterobot's original/top-level comment, where afaik they didn't specify. From context though, it sounds to me like maybe they meant to look at the trial for Premium (i.e. persona

    Currently you can do $14 for a month of access at a time. Does that scratch this itch? Or is there something about having access for even smaller windows of time that appeals to you? The read-only idea outside of those windows is an interes
