That's a neat idea! when I estimate future expenses, typically I'll do independent analysis and then bring my final numbers into PL. But I think you're right that there's an opportunity to include some country/regio

have you seen the UK tax template (plan settings > tax) and account types? curious what additional controls / differentiation you'd like to see.

In this case, I'm using Firebase auth and didn't see an auth provider option to allow username only. I think it may let you sign up with a nonexistent email though, so maybe that's close-ish to what you were looking for?

Sure thing. I'm using Vue.js, Vuetify, Chart.js, Firebase, Paddle, and GCP. Happy to field any questions if you've been wondering what any of those are like.

For monthly billing, pro is currently $65. But yeah you could be right. Anything in particular you base $99/mo on?

Oh dang, you're right! I thought the recovery process made the free trial aspect clear, but it's not explicit enough if you bail without viewing the upgrade page. I've taken a note to improve the copy.

If there are any pieces of what you envisioned that you would like to see added to PL, let me know.

A while back, I asked the bogleheads mods if it would be a good topic for a forum thread or the wiki. At the time, I think the fact that I was asking as the creator may have been a turn off. But it seems like at some point they added it to

Anything you feel the tool is missing that might make it more compelling? Personally I use it more on a monthly or even quarterly basis to consider new decisions, update stuff, etc. That fits with the usage pattern I initially imagined for

A complicating factor is that there are at least 2 different tours for different sections of the interface (e.g. high-level dashboards vs plan interface). Do you think it would be better to infer from one tour dismissal that a user never wa

Oh that sounds odd. Same experience with another browser or just safari? If you can recall anything else around that time that might help with reproducing the issue, let me know.

Thanks! When you kick the tires on self-hosting, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the setup flow and if you find it smooth + intuitive enough.

It might be helpful to repurpose/rename one of the existing account types and set up some custom liquidity/withdrawal settings. Or perhaps use a custom asset from the assets section. If there are any specific mechanics you have tr

Is it possible those large tax returns are a result of not having any tax withholding configured on your income sources?

Thanks for giving it a shot! If you go to the account menu (upper right) > Export, you can export your data as JSON. The sim uses cost basis as how much of the existing $ in there represents your contributions (as opposed to gains), whic

Thanks for playing around with the new version! And sounds like it's a good thing I rebranded to ProjectionLab -- that first 'i' in ProjectiFi was way too easy to miss ;) Is there a certain direction you'd like to see me

What browser/OS? (unless you'd rather not share, that's fine too). I just re-tested chrome, safari, and firefox on Mac OS and seems like the close tab warning works as expected. That being said, it's always possible ther

Display currency is more of a global setting (About You section), and iirc the Australian sandbox example should already be using AUD there(?) When you add a new account or cash-flow priority for super contributions, the choices should have

It's always been a goal to put the user in direct control of their data, so when the HN community asked for a self-hosted version last year, it felt like a natural fit. Way back, PL actually started as one of my personal planning sprea

by scubakid 3y ago
Easiest way to get a feel for the self-hosted version is just to play around with the sandbox in the web app and enter fake data if you like. The planning experience is essentially the same. If you did end up jumping for the self-hosted ver

Me too! haha. I only added those after a bunch of people requested them. If you dismiss them, they don't reappear do they? They shouldn't at least...

Thanks for the detailed feedback! I appreciate you checking out the tool. And sorry to hear you ran into trouble with the sandbox. It should warn about unsaved data if you try to close the tab. Did that not happen in your case? In the past,

You can add historical progress points. Just with the caveat that those currently capture a slightly higher-level rollup than account-level data. In the future I plan to convert the progress point system into more of a "snapshot"

I'm pretty agnostic on the existing account linking/aggregator services out there, but I know some folks prefer not to use them, and I wanted to build a tool that gives the user direct control of their data and how/where it&#

Most of the account and cash-flow priority types have customization options that can be used to do things like adjust liquidity/withdrawal rules and dial things in based on your circumstances. And if there are some specific areas where

Having a little trouble parsing the specific feature ideas here. It seems like one of them may be an ability to share a read-only view of your plans... but on the other(s) I might need a little more detail.

Is there a certain kind of UI you envision for more first-class support for insurance modeling? Curious to hear your take on the best way to integrate that into the current setup.
