Most side projects start with a simple frustration.
Mine started with a banking app.
One of my banks had a feature I really liked. It automatically categorized transactions and showed spending breakdowns in graphs and charts. For the first time, I could easily see how much I spent on restaurants, groceries, transport, subscriptions, and other categories.
The problem was that only one of my banks offered this feature.
Like many people, I use multiple bank accounts, credit cards, and savings accounts. Two of my other banks provided little more than a long list of transactions. If I wanted a complete picture of my finances, I had to switch between apps and manually piece everything together.
