Someone just made a short film about Aviary. Unprompted pitch, but honestly it's not bad.
"Every budget app, by day 7" hit a bit too close
What do you guys think?
@SamVale29 Thanks Sam, this was useful. Chai now lands in Snacks, so the demo and the example finally agree.
The web button now says "Open the web app", because that's what it does. The sign-in stays, and the demo is the place to try it without an account.
@SamVale29 You were right, so it's fixed. Both cards now have their own button, and the yearly badge shows the saving in money too.
I skipped marking yearly as default, since you pick a plan in the app after the trial. Thanks for the teardown.

@Yakobeen1 Only when the app needs it. Sync across devices, sharing with someone, or not losing everything on a reinstall. If your app has none of those, skip the backend.
And one I built purely for myself:
Every category now shows 12 months of spending. If one spikes, it flags it and tells you why.
Mine: shopping up 112% this month. reason: one amazon festival sale order π
Aviary update, building in public.
Most requested thing on reddit: savings goals.
Now any category can be a goal. "Cycle, βΉ10k by march" and it tells you what to set aside each month.
Money that has a purpose actually stays saved π
Stole an idea from the harness I'm using @t3dotcodes for my budgeting app.
T3 code added a pace tick to its usage bars. One glance and I know if i'm burning tokens too fast.
I was doing that math manually for my budget every day. bar progress, days left, am I ok?
So now Aviary has it too π
End of the month for now, since the budget runs by calendar month. But there's a weekly mode too: whatever's left gets spread over the remaining weeks, so a heavy week shrinks the next ones on its own.
Payday-based pacing is a good call though, a lot of people live paycheck to paycheck, not month to month. How do you handle bills that land mid-cycle?
