Thanks for your reply. Yes, it is hard to maintain each and every expense. But at least for large expenses like home loan, credit final payment amount(Grocery amount will comes under it), utility bills, gym etc.


Some kind of AI to guess what category is for each expense would be helpful. For the bigger stuff there will be a 1-1 correspondence of payee to expense. However when you go to a supermarket it could be a mix, given then supermarkets kind of sell everything from clothes to computers. So working those out would be helpful.

It would be helpful if receipts were emailed to you by stores and can be parsed later - although there is no pressure on stores to provide such a service I guess.


That would be an interesting service of AI to categorize expenditure.


YNAB, MINT and BudgetSimple, they do have Bank account/ Credit card link. You can link your financial institution and get the daily transactions.

Why do we need to scrap? Is there any specific reason ?


I assumed that those sites had web scrapers. Do most banks have an API for getting access to customers' transaction records?


No..several third party applications can help you do that -

Entire thread is very good source. It has lots of links. Liked the pomodoro technique. Thanks


That sounds like a good idea to start with..


Thanks for your reply. I agree that it will increase a cost little. But maintaining the code will have more cost.


Many smaller businesses have little understanding of concepts such as total cost of ownership and maintenance over the lifetime of a product or system.

Thanks duiker101 for your comment. I removed the alert :)

I targeted this website for India, but wanted to get feedback from other's on what others think of it.

Thanks once again...


Are websites targeted to India usually in English?

For the website itself, it looks a bit sloppy.

- Margins are not ok everywhere

- The logo-text has a different font from the rest

- Stock bootstrap elements I don't like (no issue though)

- Almost no data and some data is from 2014 (is it live?)

- Search is not centered on my relatively low res device

- Buttons are wonky http://i.imgur.com/yJeED2a.png

- Other stuff http://i.imgur.com/mZjn1A6.png


Thanks Wingerlang, Yes websites targeted for India are in English. Thanks for you comments. I will look into issues. I have not made website public ...I have mentioned for the first time on HN.
