  • Did a little bit of backlog clean-up earlier - realized there are quite a few open tasks, potential releases and directions to move in. My conclusion is that for now the smartest things to focus on are 1. Retention (ensuring the 3 people currently using it are set up to get the most out of and using it regularly), and 2. Activation (make it easier & smoother to on-board more people)

  • Tasks

  • Add pages for Tasks, Upcoming releases and shipped releases

  • V1 Metabase user dashboard

  • Fix navigation on mobile

  • Bug: Editing categories & editing targets erroneously triggers a shimmer effect

  • David N onboarding

    • Had a great call with David - overall he gave Clerk a 9/10 despite some pretty gnarly bugs. He turned out to be an ideal person to onboard as he's been following a pretty similar system manually for the last few years.

    • Some takeaways and ideas:

    • How It Works needs to be simplified - move category/classification description later. Too much information to digest at start

    • Would love to have targets per category and/or for periods longer than a month.

    • Would love to be able to "link" transactions - e.g. this transfer from friend was related to this Uber.

    • Would love to use on mobile & have support for widgets.

    • Pricing: Would see it as being in the sub $10 range. Would pay for it (and I don't say that a lot)

    • Privacy: Allowing people to self host for privacy purposes could be an idea as it's pretty sensitive data

    • (sometimes Nordigen can have an account classified as current that's actually savings.)

    • Need to remove/hide admin access to transactions now we're onboarding external users. Also potentially look at encrypting/obfuscating in some way.

    • Bug: Editing categories & editing targets erroneously triggers a shimmer effect

    • Idea: Let me see a selection of my transactions as I'm creating new categories

    • On transaction edit form - two dropdowns show "Please select" but neither has a label

  • Create and implement new animated modals

  • Mock up new potential designs for "Target" panel, showing more info per pane

  • Implement beginnings of the instant-load effect for the middle scroller, to give the feeling of snappiness when a link is clicked

  • Write up "How Clerk Works"
