Finance

Finance has been in the Google Play Store for a good few years now. It started out as a personal project to write a better finance app suited around our specific requirements, mainly being able to enter lots of similar receipts easily.

It's been neglected for a while now and is increasingly difficult to maintain. Simple things like Google breaking the backup to Google Drive every year cause us difficulties where we have to release the app and upgrade libraries that generally break or have deprecated features we were using. The final straw that "broke the camels back" was not being able to read the database on the device as it's stored in the 'wrong location' .

This got us wondering as to how we could replace the app and as all our development is now in Flutter we investigated how we could do this.

This is a mini-blog detailing our progress. It will be a long running project as we can only dedicate limited time to it, at least initially.
