I built MoneyHabitsHQ.com for simplified personal finance.

The hardest thing about it is that talking about budgeting is really personal. People are more than willing to talk about their process but things get awkward when it gets specific.

I can’t screenshare with someone to onboard them because that would involve seeing every bank account they have. Im curious if anyone has thoughts on how to solve that problem?



Hi! Absolutely loved the idea. Here's a tangential quirk though.

Your `/book/introduction` page could use a little css change for the nav sidebar (zoom out on your screen to see what I mean)

I think removing this css will help

left-[max(0px,calc(50%-45rem))]


Oooh thanks for catching that!

Will do!

My 13” MacBook doesn’t make it easy to test at wide screen widths =D


Hah! Had the same problem a few years ago when I was working on the MacBook Air and the tester had an MBP.

You have to "Zoom Out" (Ctrl + -) on the page for testing on wider screens. For testing smaller screens, zoom in.


could you create dummy accounts with fake amounts, and onboard them through your screen?


Possibly. One of the weird effects of budgeting is that fake numbers make peoples eyes glaze over crazy fast.

But this may be the only way.


That's just a demo if you aren't actually setting it up with their data.
