    YNAB hit a home run when they hired this girl. She could probably talk about paint drying and still keep you engaged.

    You should consider adding vertical line representing progress bar for past and remaining DAYS. The progress bars in YNAB extension is more convenient in this sense for me. Because when spending exceeds this line, you know you probably overspend. In spite of the fact that your horizontal line is green. AND ALSO it would be great to see aggregated bar in folder-category when you fold it.

    I am mixed. I LOVE the progress bars themselves, but the text messages are what makes my budget feel cluttered and hard to focus on. So when people talk about toggling this feature off when you want it to be clean and simple.... like, the coloured bars ARE clean and simple! It's all the extra words that are not so clean and simple. But if I make that word clutter go away, then I lose my beautiful progress bars. Wistful sigh.
