🧁 Budget Categorization
How can we categorize transactions?
The core function of budgeting for me is categorizing expenses, trying to figure out which buckets my money goes into during a month or year is super insightful. I took a few of my CC transactions and checking transactions to make a baseline of logic of categorization.
Here is what an example looks like:

Also the more data I get the better I can make the categorizing algorithm.
🥐 Follow Up
Addition things to follow up with:
Deduplication Algorithm if a user uploads multiple CC CSV transactions that overlap, we need to deduplicate, this can be a little complicated if there is more than one transaction on the same date with the exact same description
CSV Parsing Flexibility There are probably lots of different CSV formats and I want to support lots of them.
Better Categorization as I get more data I can improve the categorization.
🍰 Test The Market
Who does budgeting? Where are they hanging out? How I can connect with them? Are they excited about what I am building? Is this better than ChatGPT? I want to connect with more people before I built out a lot more features. Are they excited about what I am building?
Until we bake again,
