I've been a constant learner since the beginning and it just hinders me from doing anything meaningful. Anytime I read about something new, I always want to start my project from scratch using that new technology. I started something in plain PHP, migrated over to Ruby/Sinatra/HAML, then to Angular + Node.js. It's been very time consuming and oh so useless.

So I guess I won't be learning new tech in 2014. I'll be focusing on writing, basic marketing, building an audience for my future product and just shipping the damn thing.

This looks pretty awesome. I will sure try it out.

The problem with Bitcoins is that you must be able to sell them afterwards. And this would surely be a huge leap of faith.

Actually, we don't put them on the front page, they get upvoted until they land here. That means there is some interest for to this post and may lead to great discussions.

They manage it by making you believe that there is no bribery ;)

First of all, I want to congratulate you for actually shipping, and dare show it here on Hacker News.

However, I can't consider this an MVP. Sure it is minimal, but it is barely usable as it is right now. I'd like a datepicker, instead of writing the date by hand, and I'd like to be able to have a suggestion of tags I used in the past. I'd like to have the enter key submit the form. Such small details that would add great value.

Moreover, I expected the Day, Week, Month filter to show me only the expenses in that time frame, instead of just the total changing.

Keep it up! Very good job overall.

An HR department should not be hiring software developpers.

The founders should just retire from the fortune they made and let the company die.

In my case, I've been scratching my own itches. Find something that annoys you in your daily/weekly life, and try to automate it/make it easier with software. In my case it's been very motivating. For the moment, they are private projects, but maybe someday I'll launch them as actual products.

The thing with saying "4 figures" is that it can be anywhere between 1000 and 9999, and that is a way too big range to even give us an idea.

This is stupid behavior from the banking people. Don't they realize that they are less productive working all-nighters?
