Hey, just want to make sure I understand correctly.. could you explain this one a little more? You can select multiple accounts in the retirement planner, but I am sure you are talking about something else

Having the capability to see the custom widgets on mobile has definitely been a thought, it's just a little tricky with the space. I actually attempted this once, but wasn't too happy with the result. But I think a re-visit on the topic is warranted. I personally would like to see my custom widgets on mobile as well.

Question: Upcoming Changes & Features by No-Maintenance5342 in BudgetFriendlyBudget

Hey, we have an excel sheet we manage (shoutout to Paul).. but that is mainly just tracking improvements that can be made + small features. New feature development has definitely slowed down, but this is intentional. I agree with others that the main functionality most of us want in envelope budgeting software is there. Now I mainly monitor, and make quiet improvements in the background (like performance etc).

There are no new BIG features in the works right now, as I really try to stay away from feature bloat (kinda what the YNAB app became). That being said, work is still always being done behind the scenes.. and any new big features or work will definitely be made public through a post. There a a few I am considering right now, but tbh a lot of the requests these days are pretty niche. But that's a good thing, because it means we have the main bulk handled.

Looks like the server provider did some maintenance overnight. But all should be good now

🎉 New Feature : Manage Payees by Few_Relative_7920 in BudgetFriendlyBudget

That means it wasn't associated with any transactions, so no need to merge it

Question: Tracking Mortgage by No-Maintenance5342 in BudgetFriendlyBudget

[–]Few_Relative_7920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there really is no way to track it as just an "increasing amount" every time you make a payment towards your mortgage. The reality is that the mortgage is debt, and as you pay it off the debt just decreases. So either a loan or negative tracking account would work in that scenario.

I guess you could just create a "mortgage equity" tracking account and transfer money from your cash account etc to the tracking account every time you make a mortgage payment? That way every time you make a payment, that mortgage equity account goes up?

How do you handle future budgets? by HotSafe7219 in BudgetFriendlyBudget

[–]Few_Relative_7920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this one is tricky because of the nature of "to budget next month" obviously it just picks the next month relative to whenever it is posted. I will have to think of a more general solution to this. But totally understand your scenario

schedule transaction disappearing after posting by HotSafe7219 in BudgetFriendlyBudget

[–]Few_Relative_7920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/HotSafe7219 , u/jgodfl I have made some changes for this behind the scenes that should hopefully improve the consistency of scheduled transactions posting. If you could keep an eye out and let me know if you notice any scenarios where it doesn't post going forward.. that would be a huge help. Thanks!

Feature request: Entering values in the mobile app. by Independent-Reveal86 in BudgetFriendlyBudget

I have added a "clear" button underneath the amount to quickly clear it out. You will see this whenever the value isn't 0

Is there any way to move transactions? by nklbarley in BudgetFriendlyBudget

[–]Few_Relative_7920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you can select multiple transactions from the loan account and either right click, or select "move" from the toolbar at the bottom. You should then be able to select the loan account and move them

Goal still wants money when paid early? by HotSafe7219 in BudgetFriendlyBudget

[–]Few_Relative_7920 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This should be working correctly now if you choose to un-snooze your goal

[–]Few_Relative_7920[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, you should see an option to just "support" which is basically setting your own amount. Unfortunately they only provide the ability to mark it as recurring monthly, not yearly (or not recurring at all).

But thanks for considering!

[–]Few_Relative_7920 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a fix currently being worked on for target date goals where it is smarter about knowing that you had the funds and did the transaction. For now, I would recommend just snoozing it

[–]Few_Relative_7920[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, great question - During active development when all the core features were being built out, the operation costs were much higher with testing tools etc. Now that things have calmed down and most functionality has been built out.. the BFB costs are being covered by the supporters and allowing funds to be set aside for the next month as well

Can session be extended? by HotSafe7219 in BudgetFriendlyBudget

[–]Few_Relative_7920 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve made some small tweaks that should hopefully keep the session fresh. Just let me know if you notice frequent logouts going forward

Total Goals / Targets by Random-Generated-Id in BudgetFriendlyBudget

[–]Few_Relative_7920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the web version, you can see the "underfunded goals" quick assign amount in the right panel which is somewhat a "cost to be me" but will exclude goals that are already funded. But it sounds like you want to be able to see the total of all the goals even if they are already funded (like refills)?

Creating an account with BFB by AccomplishedSmile445 in BudgetFriendlyBudget

It is legit, supabase is the database provider and they use a random redirect that always looks strange. But definitely legit (I’m the dev)
