I need a recommendation for a budgeting tool that makes it easy to get your transactions into it.

I currently have a Numbers spreadsheet with recurring income and expenses. But there are some estimations here and it’s not giving me a clear enough picture.

I’m totally fine with paying for services. I do it all the time. I probably overdo it. BUT…

I’m a little miffed at IFTTT. I was using a free integration for the past year. Then it suddenly quit working. Turns out they decided to charge for it now.

Look I can sympathize with trying to price a SaaS. But saying something is free then charging me after I’m relying on it isn’t cool.

Luckily it’s easily replaceable by a cron job.

@morganm@subdued.social I get this sentiment, but also publishing was always a big part of the magic for me. So if it’s a personal/fun site (as in not for a business) I think publishing soon and often is a good way to keep up the motivation to learn.

Anyone know how I could get a Windows VM on a cloud somewhere that I can use as a virtual desktop?

I see Azure Virtual Desktop but it’s so heavily targeted at businesses that I can’t figure out what I need as just an individual.

🤯 puter.com just blew my mind.

It also strikes me as a good tool for an HTML beginner since you only need a web browser, but it is still conceptually a file system like one’s local machine. The stuff you learn carries over to a “real” system.
