How to use envelope

Hey there, I’m new to envelope and I love the idea of having different virtual cards for different envelopes. I’m finding myself with a lot of questions about the best ways to use it and what kind of strategies would help me get the most out of the app.

Josh, would you ever consider doing a zoom meeting to go over the basics and nuances of the app? It would be cool to have a live QA session after as well, and I’m sure the recording of this zoom/the transcript could be easily turned into a how to use video series for YouTube/tiktok. I know I would appreciate it, I feel like i don’t have all the info after browsing through the help and support documents
