At least they don't explode...
I am planning to start a new project with the following tech specs: php, mysql/mongo, nginx, react, git + mobile app (at a later stage)Of course, until the app reaches a testable version, it'll be developed locally. But afterwards, I would like to use AWS products to reacth the market.I started to read about various tools, but got overwhelmed with so many informations about various...
Recently, I came to the need of using a Note taking app + reminder + tasks. I've investigated multiple apps, but none of them does what I need entirely.Apple Notes: notes, no tasks or remindersEvernote: notes, no tasks or reminders (easy ones)OneNote: crashed 5 times before even using itWunderlist: tasks + reminders, but the notes UI is poorly designedNotion: cool concept, way too...
The first target is me, then the marketing niche.
Let me tell you about my little hobby project idea that I plan to release open source (personal use) or SAAS(hosted version).I want to combine traditional short url creation service with branch logic (conditional logic) and some ideas from smarturl.itCreate a short url that has the following logic: detect country + browsing device + screen resolution and other conditions.Conditions can be added...
I am working on a open source project, but I have some difficulties in choosing the license.1. Software will be open source (github source code)2. I will run a paid hosted version (free version with paid plugins)3. Anyone can use it for non-commercial purposes, otherwise pay for a license.Question: What license type suits best for this?
Well, even if I'm a software developer, I like drag & drop, and creating forms without many hasle.Most of the time I write some new app (hobby), it doesn't get too big: some admin panel, few forms, few tables I need to do over and over same work: tables, models, validators, forms, handle errors....boring stuff.I want to create a service (if it doesn't exist already) that would allow me to...
I am curious what's rolling into your headphones while you do your job: music, books, ted talks...I am tired of listening to music and useless stuff. Maybe I can learn something new while I work.
Well, here's an update. 24 hours ago I've posted this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9738698 thread.That's a big step forward for me, because due to all the commenters (thank you), now I have a much clearer picture about what I want to do.Main specs: - anonymous (all the data will be tied to a dropbox/google drive user id, OAUTH login only), no emails/names/addresses/IPs logged on...
2. pics will come with a landing page
3. If you have better things to do, than personal finance or planning, you don't need this service
4. documents = bills. I add an entry: electric bill - 100$, but the interface where I pay it keeps only my last 6 bills, not everything, so I want them stored automatically somewhere/
5. I don't need your dropbox/google info. You click a login button, redirect to oauth interface, login on the oauth server then come back to me with a token.
It's not shooting down, it's reality, it's the reason I posted this.
You go to a good friend who'll let you use his computer for 3 mins, check your finance: u have money? pay the ne; no money, ask him :P
The other solution would be to go to the ATM and check your balance :P
2. Forecasting (more like planning): at this moment I have X in my account. I have a big event in about 90 days from now. I want the app to "learn" from my past months transactions(expenses & income), create a spending pattern and give me some scenarios: the optimist, pessimist and the probable one.
Currently I am trying this in excel...but doesn't work as planned. I want the app to be able "think" in advance.
Eg. you set a goal: $3,000 cash in next 3 months. Then the app should do: check what you did in the past 3 months, check last year on this time if you have any insurance to cover (car, house...etc, yearly recurring transactions) and the result should be: well, you can't gather $3,000 because you might spend them on: X, Y, Z. If you eliminate one of them, you reach your goal. Some kind of rudimentary artificial intelligence.
3. thanks for OFX, QFX and QIF.
4. Honestly, I want to build something that matters. I think I can support these yearly costs, even with a donate button (no ads).
5. Everywhere the forecasting/planning feature is a paid one.
6. As I initially said, I am trying to plan it as anonymous as possible: the data will be tied to an oauth userID, nothing more.
I still I can lose 5 minutes every day to remember/type all my transactions.
