Launch websites with enterprise needs at startup speeds.

Hi everyone, I'm Kevin, the solo founder of Budget Base. I'm not a traditional developer. This started when I asked myself "why do apps meant to help people save money charge so much?" I had some ideas from tools I'd built for myself in Excel, and I made it happen from there. The Expense Tracker is a privacy-first alternative to apps like Mint, Monarch, and Rocket Money. Instead of connecting your bank account, you just upload a CSV statement. Your files are never stored, and it costs a fraction of what those apps charge. I keep the price low intentionally. As Budget Base grows I'd love to bring costs down even further, but for now a small subscription keeps the lights on and lets me keep improving it. My favorite features are the multi-loan payoff calculator, which handles multiple debts simultaneously using avalanche or snowball method, and the articles page, which rewards learning with achievement badges. Would love to hear what tools or features would be most useful to you. I read every comment.
