State of the BudgetBudget about budgetbudget HOT 15 OPEN

I started experimenting with a SwiftUI based implementation and am enjoying working on it. The Swift language makes loading the data from MoneyMoney through applescripts almost too easy 😄

I would like to share my progress (and collaborate with anyone interested) and am wondering how to best setup and share the repo. From my point of view the changes are too fundamental for them to be a branch of this repo. I could setup my own repo but I wanted to check with you (@Xiphe) first if this would be ok for you or if you would prefer another setup.

Sounds good. I have setup a new repo and uploaded the first experiment: https://github.com/leo-benz/budgetbudget-native

Thank you for posting this update and I hope you can get back on track soon, health obviously is most important of all. Please don't feel bad for not working on it as long as it sparks no joy!

Regarding 4., please publish this early if you ever get around to following this through. I'd love to have this and even more I'd love to help with this: Though I don't have much more experience with Swift than with JS, I've always wanted to get better at Swift and have more fun writing it.

First of all: BudgetBudget is a great app and I use it at least once a week. It is great in its current state and there is no pressure for changing anything. I know the feeling of being stuck on a project and needing some distance, especially when there are some big never ending tasks…

I wanted to contribute more to this project but I am not really familiar with JS/TypeScript and I don’t have much motivation for diving into it. I also thought sometimes to rewrite it myself in Swift(UI). I have some experience with it but haven’t finished any project with it yet. A great starting point is the free Stanford CS193p course. This years WWDC has also brought several enhancements that perfectly complement a SwiftUI port of BudgetBudget (Swift Charts, Grid & Custom Layouts) A SwiftUI port could also enable the App to run on iPad (obviously without the MoneyMoney sync) which would be a great addition. I would also appreciate if you could publish this early if/when you get started with it. I would love to contribute.

Beta user, was? Count me in, when September ends… :)

Just to chime in, this looks and sounds great!
I am a regular user of the App and still use it daily. A native solution (and for that maybe a collaboration between you two) sounds exactly like what this needed as the next step. Allthough I cannot write Swift I'm more than happy to beta-test once it reached a good-enough state for that.

Anyway, keep up the great work, thank you for everything BudgetBudget already did to this day, and I am happy to see project continuing forward.

Thanks @skempken really appreciate what you're saying <3

@leo-benz started on a native version here: https://github.com/leo-benz/budgetbudget-native
I'm looking forward to collaborate there once motivation kicks in :)

I still intend to at least keep the current state running until we have a successor.

Oh, that's lovely to hear! And really helps a lot with the decision fatigue! Will keep you posted. Thank you!

from budgetbudget.

Wow, that's awesome! Would love to see your progress. I agree that it does not make much sense to share a repository for that and it's totally fine with me if you publish your work on your account. If we end up collaborating a lot on that project we might as well create a github org 🚀 but that's again me thinking 10 steps to far ahead

Thanks for the update and thank you for BudgetBudget. I wish you all the best, especially in your endeavours regarding your mental health.
I've recently personally stopped using BudgetBudget because I've had personal troubles with keeping up my budgeting in general, and my BudgetBudget throws an error on startup that I don't have the time to debug.
So I just wanted to let you know that I've temporarily cancelled the sponsorship, for now, but will still keep an eye on the project, will regularly check back, and would love to get back on board when/if BudgetBudget transitions to being a native App.
I hope there are no hard feelings and wish you only good things in your life.

from budgetbudget.

❤️ No hard feelings at all. I'm still flattered that so many people found interest in this project and that some of you even showed their support by sponsoring me. Thank you @ghabiger for getting involved, really means a lot to me regardless if you're still sponsoring or using the app. There are no obligations here!

todays sponsored Mac App Store posting reminded me UI wise directly to BudgetBudget,
otherwise it's not related (no MoneyMoney)

Cool! Thanks for sharing @andre68723

I think a lot of solutions are inspired by YNAB. But might be worth looking into this one for some details that I'm not happy with in BB.

just to note: the app Actual now has (again) a desktop variant which also runs on MacOS, so maybe one could get inspired by BudgetBudget or even reuse some code for this. I made a feature request there which is open for voting.
