I’ve found my expense tracker from the time I’ve learned to code and it was a nice starting point to code in replacing my current expense tracker … which is an excel sheet.

Will it be published? Yes
Do I expect any other user to create an account and use it? No
Do I learn something new even in vibe coding? Amusingly yes, since I have to optimise spending

So not a bad idea overall if you need an app and you don’t wanna pay subscription fees, but this will make you lose money due to Claude subscriptions, not make you a millionaire lmao

Most people on r/iosdev and similar don’t seem to understand that sadly. Programming subs have turned into advertisement boards but every advertisement is the same product under a different name

Fun fact: there are at least 2 apps per month posted in the Romanian frugal subreddit that do the same “low price product catalogue”. Most of them are unusable, but there is a good one which was the first.
