#72I'm yet to spend time on this, just wanted to let you know that I absolutely despise those walking tour flying dialogs. They're very annoying and quickly move my eyes from the dashboard (what I want to see) to something I couldn't care less about.
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...
I had it reappear 3 times when I was trying it out moving between pages. First time was before I created an account though in the sandbox. Not sure exactly the replication steps for the second and third time it showed up.

#73Interesting, but I don't understand how it does taxes. I live in a completely different, much more income tax heavy nation than the US. It shows me large tax returns in the simulation which are orders of magnitude higher than what I'm actually getting. How do I disable or change these? Edit: Found the taxes tab, but it seemingly didn't apply the income tax rate I provided in the plan creation "wizard"?
Is it possible those large tax returns are a result of not having any tax withholding configured on your income sources?

#75the app looks incredible, but I'm apprehensive about putting all of my financial details into a solo project without knowing a little more about how you've addressed security & privacy - is there somewhere I can read about how you are ensuring my information stays secure?
as a HN user/pretty senior webdev, I'm happy to get into the more gritty details :)

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 trouble modeling, let me know -- would be good to capture them on the roadmap.

#79I'm a very happy user of the app.
Love the sankey charts you added. I had a DIY version of that before.
Excited to try the self-hosting when I have some free time.

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.
