Wow, quite the thoughtful well articulated response from you and the team Heather! For the record, absolutely zero sarcasm meant, as often can be missed in this medium.
Reading this thread was quite the e-rideā¦ I was thinking of possibly even trying out the solution itself at the start, and hereās hoping someday I might get to.
Just my 2c, thereās value in leaving said post up as it at the very least shows:
a cool original idea, even if itās just to be ideated from at this point.
a genuine human interaction between a company and its customer base.
I just want to commend your efforts in hopefully bridging this gap that has been created.
I can understand both sides of this equation, Iāve been the creator of something that has felt overlooked, while pouring all of my time and energy into it.
I have also been the operator of an organization, had the best, most genuine intentions with all of my decisions for everyone to be affected positively, and somehow they have (always) fallen short of someoneās expectations!
At the end of the day, Tiller is a wonderful tool that has helped so many people get their finances either back on track or even more organized. I for one am so grateful for this, my wife and I just introduced our first child into the world two weeks ago today. Tiller has unlocked so many roadblocks that we have struggled with on our finances for years - weāre now able to truly forecast our future income, savings and expenses. Wrap all that up with being located within one Google Sheets workbook, and Iām set for life.
Furthermore, @1Email2RuleThemAll has literally built the solution to a problem that I have been looking for and has literally caused my wife YEARS of confusion on our finances. So please know that if you have decided to stop working on any of these solutions, you have made an impact on a brand new familyās lives for the better. Iām eternally grateful for you!
I donāt have a magic 8 ball to predict the future from here, but I do hope we can resolve these issues, quite selfishly for my own benefit!
Iām glad to hear that these workflows have helped you better plan your new life! I donāt plan on taking any solutions down, and fully plan to support all the solutions that Iāve posted. I just changed the permissions to be for personal use only. This workflow in particular was meant as a scaffolding that can be used to build reports and dashboards (both solutions I talked about above use this as a source in some fashion). It has a lot of value to offer in this regard. Since I felt that the value was not adequately recognized, I decided that taking that aspect of the solution away was a fair trade. If somebody wants to use the solution, they can. If they want to build a report on top of it so they can gain better insights into their finances, they are free to do so.
I like the markup that the forums utilize, and I use the Show & Tell posts as a sort of doc repo for myself. I might post the other workflows at some point. As they sit, theyāre only good for a subset of the user base. For instance, my Check Health/Home Page solution only accounts for a max of 5 savings accounts. Thatās more than enough for my situation, but others may have 7 savings accounts, which would break the logic of that workflow. Getting those workflows into a state thatās usable by more people requires some effort, and Iāve just felt recently that those efforts were better spent on other things.
Again, thank you for the kind words, and let me know if you have any questions about the workflows!
Iām just digging into this, and it looks like it will nicely replace the āscheduled transactionsā my old bank integrated into their app. Iām not a spreadsheet expert, but Iām not afraid of trying to write my own formulae occasionally.
I have a rogue subscription that, instead of renewing on the same day every month, renews every 30 days, which shifts the payment date over time. Itās not paid from the account Iām currently working with, but itās made me curious as to whether this math could be incorporated into the Frequency grains.
Hello! A rolling 30 day window absolutely could be worked into the frequency grains, and Iāve actually been thinking about incorporating it for some time now. One of my dogs has meds that are dispatched in 30 day increments, so I deal with the same issue. Iāve just kinda put up with it for the most part because I just need a general idea of when that will hit, but I have been wanting to make it match reality.
Here recently, Iāve been in sort of burn-out mode when it comes to writing code. Iām a programmer by trade, and itās a big hobby of mine. I have a lot of projects Iām close to completing, but have just been too burnt out to push into completion. But Iām starting to get some motivation again, and this might be one of the first things I tackle.
