New features
Hi there!
There are a bunch of cool updates you may or may not have spotted yet:
1. Tag transactions with hashtags, twitter style.
With these hashtags, you can basically group expenses together and, later on, you'll be able to see stats and graphs based on them. A typical hashtag is "#car", a "container" for all car-related expenses. Another one would be "#home", for all home bills, mortgage, home improvements etc.
How's this working for you? Do you find it useful? Does the implementation affect the general user experience, by slowing things down?
2. Fancy scrollbars instead of the browser default scrollbars, which looked quite ugly inside the UI.
3. New, playful logo, designed by Mircea Dragoi.
4. A "tools" section, where you can now rename and/or delete accounts. Just go to /app/tools or click on the "Tools & Settings" link top-right.
More tools are coming to this section, soon. Stuff like profile settings (change password, etc.) and also a "trash" feature that enables you to revive deleted transactions.
5. Graphs, baby! Just click on the toggle icon to the right, to see them. Better and more beautiful graphs are coming soon, cause I'm not that happy with them now.
6. Bug fixes, cache support, speed improvements.
7. API. It's there, REST-style, but not open to public yet. If you're interested in building something on top of CashBase, email me and let's talk. I'd love to help get you started with your app and provide all the API support you'd need!
Currently, the API has methods for retrieving a user's profile, accounts, transactions, creating and deleting transactions and accounts. Basically, all the actions the web app does.
I'm going to continue to improve the app, iterating slowly, building the best personal finances app!
Thanks for reading :), feedback welcome!

(just testing your app, I keep my balance earings/spendings on Google Spreadsheets for now, and give CB a try)
@roxin, do you dislike the way the scrollbars look or the fact that the app has a fixed height?
So I guess I dislike both :)
The default scrollbars looked messy *inside* the app, besides the fact that they look different on all browsers.
I will however consider expanding the transactions listings. The reason for the fixed height is to keep the UI as clean as possible, with as little information possible to still get the job done.
Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it!
Also , another suggestion - for the charts tab, you could also say *when* there will be enough data to show something there. Right now it says : "Not enough data to show this graph..."
