This popped up on my insta, an Italian Villa fan, Valerio, came to Brum because he wanted to watch the final with Villa fans and a few people helped him out so he could watch it at the Utilita - it made me smile from start to finish.

What a fanbase. 🥰💜💙

I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. I wanted to quickly share a few tips for using Claude Code, sourced directly from the Claude Code team. The way the team uses Claude is different than how I use it. Remember: there is no one right way to use Claude Code -- everyones' setup is different. You should experiment to see what works for you!

If you want to level up your .NET skills, try building a 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿 that feels like a real production system.

This project is simple to understand, but deep enough to teach real architecture.

📌 Here's what we're building

You can track income and expenses, assign categories, and see spending trends.

You get dashboards with charts, monthly summaries, and a clean view of where your money goes.

And the stack is fully modern:
• ASP .NET Core 10 Web API
• React dashboard
• Neon Postgres
• Azure App Service
• Azure Static Web Apps

📌 Backend: ASP .NET Core 10 Web API

We create separate endpoints for transactions, categories, budgets, and reports.

Each module handles its own logic, transactions know how to calculate totals, reporting knows how to aggregate data.

Here is what we will use:
• Minimal APIs
• EF Core
• FluentValidation
• Scheduling with TickerQ
• Observability with OpenTelemetry
• Integration Tests with xUnit and TestContainers

📌 Why a Modular Monolith

A modular monolith keeps everything in one deployable unit but gives us clear boundaries.

1️⃣ Finance Module → transactions, categories, budgets
2️⃣ Users Module → user management and authentication
3️⃣ Reporting Module → aggregations for dashboards

This setup avoids the complexity of microservices while using structure that scales.

📌 Database: Neon Postgres

Neon is perfect here because:
↳ Autoscaling
↳ Generous free tier
↳ Serverless architecture
↳ Fully compatible with EF Core Npgsql package

We design a simple schema:
• users
• accounts
• transactions
• categories
• budgets

📌 Frontend: React + Chart.js

The UI has 4 main parts:
1️⃣ Overview dashboard
2️⃣ Transactions page
3️⃣ Categories and budgets
4️⃣ Reports with charts

React Query handles data fetching.
React Hook Form handles validation.
Chart.js shows spending trends and income vs expenses.

Everything is simple, fast, and focused on real usability.

📌 Deployment: Azure App Service + Azure Static Web Apps

The backend runs on Azure App Service → easy deploy, environment variables, scaling, SSL.

The frontend runs on Azure Static Web Apps → global CDN, cheap, clean CI/CD.

GitHub Actions builds and deploys both automatically.

Building this project will teach you real Architecture, Modular Monolith design, Minimal APIs, and cloud deployment.

If you want to build a Finance Tracker project, I recommend using my production-ready Modular Monolith .NET project template:
