  • granular control - select which budgets to include or exclude
  • loans / debts as part of expenses, loan money to person, list all money owed or due

  • tag-wise spending
  • any possibility of data exploration tools to view/use here
  • predicted transactions - add future predicted transactions and show them on finance dashboard

LifeX

Does not map to any current sections. LifeX was "life experiments" - a periodical undertaking where I would choose an activity for a week or a month and then report on my experience about it. For example, to learn about different types of clouds that form in the sky, or to cook ramen, or try a new coffee shop, or try out different productivity techniques.

  • archive previous records
  • food places
  • pubs
  • photography
  • movies I want to watch
  • books I want to read
  • my desk
  • productivity

For each experiment post there will be a corresponding experiment idea which will have tags and links to similar experiments, outcomes, and whether I want to try it again.

Search

Does not map to any current sections. This is a search feature over the website.

  • search page with options and parameters
  • suggestions
  • on bottom of every page
