Hi, just installed it and got one of my accounts sync'd up and its great!
Only thing missing for me as of now is a budget tracker.

YAFFA for example (demo site):

Would be cool if this Incorporated the Recurring transactions, Installments and Income for more accurate predictions

Please don’t introduce budgeting, or at least make it easy to hide. For people looking for budgeting tools, there are mature solutions, but there aren’t any great expense tracking tools.

I'll just use yaffa instead then. It's a shame I like the UI, but development is slow and if people don't want a financial tracker to include budgeting then I don't wanna use it.

That's a lot of attitude for something you're getting for free, including development time, which is definitely not cheap. If you want faster development, pull requests and donations are very much welcome.

But I do agree with @stefan786, WYGIWYH was born due to the lack of good non-budgeting tools out there that fit my use case. While we could definitely hack something on top of the current system, I don't particularly like budgeting and this issue doesn't seem to have gathered any attention from other users to justify the time investment.

YAFFA looks cool, I'm sure you'll be happy there.
