This is a link post Budgeting bill tracking thing for self employed, poor or simply useless people. I made this!
(I am a spamcunt).

I've been working on this in my spare time for over a year now, me and my two faithful beta testers. I'm not really sure what words best describe it yet: it's a personal finance budgetter. You tell it your incomes, your expenses, your accounts and it gives you a daily budget to follow, lets you record spending, alerts you to bills, predicts when your balances will drop too low, tracks unpaid bills, simulates expenses, manages savings goals. It has a web app (I'm working on native iOS and Android things) and can even send you text messages.

There are other things that do this, but none as well as this. I only started making it because I couldn't find something that can cope with an irregular income and it's really helped me to get organise and pay my bills.

It is in beta, and this is the first place I've publicly posted it and shall be the only place for a while. There's a good support ticketing system (in 'support') on there for problems but you can also gaz me. Me and a few friends have been testing it for a while now, so it should be quite stable, but I'd still expect a few bugs, it just shouldn't catch fire or anything. What I'd love is any feature requests and suggestions for it.

I will eventually hope to charge a low price for it (£1pcm or £8 a year) but if you use the code b3tabeta on signing up, you'll get a year credited and I'll add to that if you're still using it in a year.

(It is at this point that it will crash and burn, I'm sure).

This is a normal post this is all just a clever ploy
to get our annual incomes and bank details, right?

This is a normal post At most I would be tempted to generate a pretty graph. There's no need to
enter any bank details or personal information, I'd be concerned at someone adding a bank account on there and actually calling it by the account number. Mine are 'student', 'savings' and 'wallet'.

edit: it can also manage a box of cash as if it was a bank account, making it perfect for drug dealers. I don't know if that's something I should try promoting it with.

This is a normal post Let me know if it doesn't do something you assumed it would,
as I initially made it specifically for me, like the selfish bastard I am, I've really enjoyed all feedback to make it into something universally useful.

That said, I am a coder, I am not a marketer, this is usually the stage that my projects tend to die at if they're not about willies or the world ending.

This is a normal post why not make your graph using representive willies then?
if the willy is soft and useless then theres no money.
if the the willy is a semi then there may be some money
if the willy would require thumbing in then there is a bit more money
if the willy ifs rampant and sold then you loads of money
and if the willy is rampant and spurting then there is to much money



they could be pink if you realy wanted to

This is a normal post I have been enjoying hiding the more useless settings
in 'Advanced Settings'. Maybe 'Magenta cock mode' should be built.

This is a normal post Oooo cool
I need one of these things and wanted to build my own but don't have time because of a shit load of jobs. Thanks for saving me many hours =D

PS Your top 3 info sections ("homeSteps" divs) aren't floating correctly on Chrome.

This is a normal post hee! This started as a single php script to run on a local server for me, then friends showed interest
so I made it into the monster it is today. It's nice to have a pet.

What window size are you at? I'm running Chrome and they're aligned fine (should be, going downwards, left, middle then right) at all window sizes until mobile when they stack.

Is that correct? I thought they might have been either inline or centered. My bad...

This is a normal post Hahaha, unfortunately this is a symptom of my terrible eye
for design rather than a malfunction. This is correct.

I should fiddle with the final one a bit more though. I like code and geekery, making things pretty always bores me but I'm not going to get any users otherwise!

This is a normal post Well I'm signed up and ready to rock and roll.
I'll get me finances sorted in a few days. Got a deadline for an app in 4 days and keep spending far too much time on b3ta when I should be working =(

This is a normal post Oof, yes! Raise a support ticket or gaz me here if you have any comments or
requests or problems. I am more curious about how it will be received than anything now, as I think it's pretty much ready to go.

This is a normal post two things
1) you have to be some kind of weird or stupid to call YOURSELF a spamcunt
1a) collary - i am not sure you understand what a spamcunt is.

2) if you get a free month for referring a griend that makes a free account i could in thoery keep myself referring myself (on diff temporary emails). you might want to think that one through a little.

looks good. but i wont be using it.
