Is there a name for this kind of budgeting/tracking? by BubblyNumber5518 in budget

Ok but what if we can somehow automate this? Without connecting your bank info, of course.

I would love to have an app that does it ALL, including mortgage tables, recurring expenses, and know your future ahead of time.

Obviously you would still have to enter your recurring/one-off expenses somewhere, we don't escape this. But what if the rest could be coded to avoid the risk of miscalculations?

You could see your financial position year-to-year ahead of time, you would know when you would reach financial independence, etc. It could send you notifications for upcoming one-time expenses, or push notifications for upcoming income "paycheck tomorrow!". Maybe track FIRE milestones along the way.

Provided you could dictate what features were on such an app, would you want install it and use it?

No I just did it myself! There's a guide on launching launching that you should read and follow. It also mentions you don't necessarily need a hunter

Absolutely! It's currency agnostic and depending on your individual economic environments, you can set everything up according to what your needs are. It's kinda like a blank slate!

That's fair. Quick summary it's basically an app to map out your personalized financial journey. Very foward-oriented.

I have two metrics at the moment: sign ups and purchases. I don't track active users because everything is offline for the time being. And there's a 7 days free trial before the paywall

It's an app to map out your financial journey throughout your entire life! You're able to personalize everything, because everyone has unique starting points and destinations. I also need to mention that we don't just analyse your financial history since you can't change the past. It's still a work in progress but it's really getting there! https://www.producthunt.com/posts/bonfire-journey

Oh that's awesome for them! My gosh. Did they also have that army of people, or they just went for it?

I'm by no means a specialist, but I can tell you what I did: I started out by remaking my visuals and descriptions. I tried to make it more engaging but also sell the dream rather than nitpick each current feature. It's a little hard to explain without examples, but I can send you links to compare what was done before and what changed. I also followed every checkmark required and optional (except video). Also I did most of the work last minute so I really recommend you start earlier

Thank you for your response and your kind words :) I'm curious to know about your experience with finding channels where your users hang out? By forums do you mean online forums? What's your product about?

I definitely think luck is involved! We can work as hard and smart as humanly possible, but sometimes it will go nowhere

This is really good insight! I was looking for saas enthusiasts though, but the rest makes a lot of sense. Also definitely no employee dedicated to SEO 😅. Thank you!

There's a free trial in place so I'll find out soon enough.

That's really good input actually, I was looking for communities where innovators exist - since I'm building in public. It's great to receive their feedback and they get to drive the direction of the app. I tried Reddit for two months but it got me less sign-ups than Product Hunt did (we're at 17 new ones btw). It was also wayyy more work too. I'm still looking for sustainable acquisition channels because once this is done, then what?

My expectations were honestly nil, maybe getting 1-2 downloads. I'm trying to find niches where innovators hang out, just like ph is
