@ignition_tom I haven't tested with anyone outside of the US. I will reach out to Plaid and listen to their thoughts around Canada and the UK. I would love to expand beyond just the US.
@ignition_tom Amazing!!! Thanks so much for sharing!

I love that your demo data is real! Your landing page and demo really piqued my interest in your product, which is more than I can say about a large percentage of PH sites I've seen.
The only place I feel you're falling short is by not detailing *how* you're tracking financial data - is it all manual data entry on the user's end, or are you connecting with services like bank websites (à la Mint) to automatically scrape and analyze this data?
Without knowing more, I'm left feeling a bit reluctant to enter my email for "early access".
Cheers!
@maddysaysboo Thanks so much for your honesty feedback 😄 The how is lacking on the site, I will make sure to talk more about that. Basically during the onboarding process we will ask you to connect to your accounts. Behind the scenes we are working closely with Plaid, a 3rd party service, to ensure everything is safe and secure. They are trusted by tens of millions of people, including us. For those few things that you don't track online, we provide a simple manual entry tool so you can fine tune your account with us. Once everything is connected we will take a snapshot at the end of each month.
I've tried a lot of financial trackers but never fallen in love with one. Really like the visuals and graph design. What inspired you to start FiStatus?
@harryraymond I have been tracking my finical figures for a while now with Google Sheets. It was a very manual process and I wanted a way to automate this. That is how it all started. The reason why I decided to share this tool publicly is that I want to help others that are in my same predicament and help educate people on the fundamentals of finance. You know, all the stuff they should have taught us in high school. The basic stuff on adulting.
Hello everyone 👋. I have been working on this product for the past couple months and today I am excited to share it with this community. Please let me know if you have any questions.

@kennedysgarage looks great! Have tried a few iterations of this type of product in the past, will definitely give it a spin.
@ketanbhalla Sadly I have too, always ended up back at a Google Sheet. Figured I would give it a shot building it this time. I would love to hear what worked in the past and what didn't.

Signed up for early access... eager to see it in action. But you had me at hello... or rather.. the epically honest and touching video explaining your journey. I really really hope you kill it with this app... sounds like you deserve it!
@jvosloo Thanks man, really appreciate it. When i need to feel relaxed over the past few months I used Headspace and it really helped. Thanks for creating such a wonderful product!

@kennedysgarage Oh no... I'm not from THAT Headspace 😁But I agree the meditation app is cool 👍😊
@jvosloo No worries. Either way, I sure you are doing something amazing!

Looks pretty. Even prettier than the app I'm building :)
A question though: That "debt-to-income" should be above 100% for you, right? I think you swapped those two variables.
And, how will that dashboard look like once you're debt-free? Half the dashboard seems to be centered around that.
You could also improve a little on the breakpoints. iPad landscape makes troubles.

Been looking for something that isn't like the others... and i'm not the greatest at managing finances. Nice work!
