Where is the money going? That was the question on my mind in 2006. I wanted a way to track my expenses. That’s how MoneyTracker was born. In the beginning, there was a text file. “Wait, a text file?” I hear you ask. Well, yes. I wanted something simple. I still do. Everyone does - at first. But complexity tends to grow with our needs. I can’t count the number of times I was commissioned to build a “super simple” system only to dig into the details and you know what lies there, don’t you?

After many years of private development, I have decided to publish the source code for Money Tracker, my personal finance manager. The story of how it came to life is another post I am still working on but it’s been online for quite a while. With that, I am hoping to publish a release blog post whenever there is something substantial to share about the new release. A lot of work went into this release though most of it is not visible to the end user.
