I have been building an iOS net worth tracker app as a side project for more than 5 years now:

https://www.percento.app

I was an accountant for 3 years before I switched my career to be a programmer, then I kept coding for 10+ years in big tech companies and had always wanted to build a product on my own. Eventually, I found the niche to combine my finance knowledge and my iOS skills into this App and happily building for a few years.


Can I share data with my partner? I’ve been looking for a way to help my partner understand where we at money-wise.


ah sorry currently there is no share data feature although I've heard this feature request from time to time, I probably should consider implementing this later. The premium membership can be shared with family members though -- one purchase for all members.


I'm building my personal finance App Percento for iOS. More than 10 years after I switched my career from accountant to Dev, and it has been more than 5 years that I worked on this project, how time flies.

Description: Designed by a former accountant, Percento is a fast and powerful personal finance manager on iOS. With a clean net worth overview, you can focus on what's important, while minimizing effort to keep track of all your money accounts.

Testing: Feedback On User Experience and localization. Percento is featured multiple times by Apple in my country, and I am looking to promote the App in English speaking countries.

Continue to work on my indie iOS finance App that helps user to track net worth:

https://www.percento.app

I've been working on this App for 3 years now, I've earned some users in my country. I'm planning to bring more growth in other countries.


This. Perfect description of how to avoid the real challenge.

- Spend time on inventing library instead of thinking hard about the customer need for an App - Spend time on learning productivity tips instead of doing actual work - And in this case, spend time worrying about the blog platform instead of writing articles

I learn this lesson hard and constantly remind myself to avoid this pitfall.


How did you learn this lesson?



I am working on an iOS personal finance App that helps you to track assets and expense effortlessly:

https://www.percento.app

Unlike other Apps, Percento encourages you to only track significant money updates of your daily life, minimizing your time spent on tracking money. Features:

- Support multi-currency

- No login needed

- iCloud Sync

- Stock and currency rate sync

I've earned some active users for the past few months, who love the App very much. I haven't marketed the App enough so the audience is still small for English language countries. Can you tell me how you feel about my App?


The hardest part of this trick maybe being conscious of our actions while auto-pilot is often the default behavior.


I am working on a personal finance App for iOS that help you to manage assets easily.

Features:

- Dead easy to book keeping

- Plain text export

- Focus on assets management

- Support many iOS platform only features

Currently this is Chinese only but I am looking to support English as well: https://xxz.jakehao.com


I like your project.

The fact that Gitbook is no longer maintained is a sad news for me. I don't usually write books but I my favorite to maintain a product manuel is to use Gitbook. For example, here is a prototype for my recent project: https://xxz.jakehao.com

At a first glance Asciibook's interface is not eye appealing as Gitbook. I hope your project can keep the momentum and hope to use it in production one day!


Thank you.

GitBook's default theme is great. I think the biggest difference is that the toc is displayed on the left side and can be displayed persistently. I will improve the default theme.


My brain hurts just imagining this.


Mine too
