Better analysis for your finances

Friday, July 18th, 2008

We released a new look for our analysis page, with bigger, intuitive and more interactive charts:

  • The pie chart is labeled “in-place”, so you don’t need to roll your eye-balls over to another part of the page to figure out what tag a particular slice represents
  • A bar chart beneath the pie chart shows the income v/s expenditure trend for the particular tag you want to dig into
  • A slider makes it smooth to go back and forth in periods of time (For those who remember, this slider is a MUCH improved version of the one we had back in June last year.)

Analyzing and understanding where your money is going is the first step towards good financial health. We hope our analysis tools are helping you realize your financial goals, more efficiently than ever before.

Bank syncing updates

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

We have revamped a lot of our bank syncing code which should result in much more robust data retrieval from a number of banks. Many folks had encountered trouble with National City, Compass Bank, Key Bank and a few credit unions. Troubles with these banks should now be gone.

We have also added support for Capital One Credit Cards and PayPal in response to our vocal users. Enjoy! :)

An iPhone interface for reddit

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

Given that we had already invested so much time in Buxfer’s iPhone interface, we figured we could easily make a few interfaces for other sites we use frequently on the iPhone. We made one for news.ycombinator.com which people liked. So, we figured we will do one for reddit as well! And the amazing folks over at reddit let us make it “official” in a way too! Thanks, Steve and Alexis!

Here’s a short demo:
