Enjoyed playing with it, but have a couple thoughts:

1. Monthly budgets may not work for everyone, if its easy I would add additional default time ranges for pay period management (2 week pay periods is common in many industries)

2. Your landing page shows support for multiple-category tracking, but I don't see how or where it is implemented.

3. Detail views don't appear to auto-sync with bucket changes while they are open.

4. I couldn't figure out how to set or add a description to bucket changes. Tried "20 safeway" but it just sat there. In addition, the bucket entry textboxes can't show enough data sometimes (180.00 gets cut off, for example, in the default make it rain).

5. Make it Rain! and Make it So! while fun were very confusing until I watched your video about their purpose.

6. Adding an account doesn't seem to add anything to the system.

7. Really like the total line at the bottom of the page and the animations/visuals that help show state changes, I think this and the simplicity are your main benefits.

Hope you find the comments useful.

Thank you for the detailed feedback.

Re 1, what do you do? 2 week pay periods?

I'll work on 2-5.

What do you mean by 6? What did you expect to happen when you added an account?

Thanks!

I get paid 1st and 15th, my wife (RN) every 2 weeks.

Per 6: not sure what I expected, just didn't find a particular use for the function.

Questions for the author whom I presume is unavailable...

If it was clear to both parties that the other did not enjoy the same activities... why would you expect to be invited to those activities? Why would it bother you to not be invited to an activity you probably would not enjoy?

The only answer seems to be that she was lonely, so she put on a mask to fit in... not really surprising but seems a bit shallow and I can't imagine it really being personally fulfilling. Would not her time have been better sent seeking out those with whom she shares more common interests?

Hope I am not too badly missing the point.

Yeah, that's a good point.

I guess I think that I would have enjoyed some of the activities (e.g. I do watch some Sci-fi flicks), but as they had a perception of me not being like them, they assumed I wouldn't like anything at all.

But, right, ultimately, its about realizing that I am not as interested in most of the things that my colleagues were interested in, and I am hoping that the diversity of my colleagues increases so that would not be the case.

I seek out other stuff like dance lessons, art classes, etc, but it does take time to meet the strangers at those activities. I still prefer that stuff (even if its by myself) to going to the pub, which is the defacto activity around here.

I'm a very big video game nerd, but I'm also interested in stuff like dance and the outdoors. Has it not been your experience that your D&D-playing colleagues also do things completely unrelated to nerdom?

> If it was clear to both parties that the other did not enjoy the same activities... why would you expect to be invited to those activities? Why would it bother you to not be invited to an activity you probably would not enjoy?

Agreed. The main feel I get from the article seems to be frustration about how she doesn't fit in, but that and it's inevitable result are not her fault, and not the other people's fault. We are more than happy to have diverse people working in our field, and it's totally ok to like different things.

I guess the trouble is you share a common interest in cs with the group. But because your social interests are so disparate it's hard to then be part of the group.

The areas you want to hang out and talk to then about are overshadowed by the opposite interests.

I can see how one might conform a little so you could have a decent cs conversation :-)

Why would you ask Person A why Person B is not interested in a particular subject matter? Why not just go ask Person B?

Is there a good reason for this approach that I have missed? It seems to be a popular approach, but I don see the value in it. Anyone able to enlighten me?
