Continuing with the dashboard redesign we have added a new feature: a free personal notes box. It’s a yellow box on the dashboard that looks like a post-it where you can write whatever you want. It could be useful for many things such as writing something you need to remember (for example that you owe a small amount to a friend so you don’t forget it).

Notes are private and they can’t be read by anyone but you.

Hope you find it useful

We’ve released a brand new public REST api in addition to the existing SOAP one.

That’s what we are using on an upcoming project… more to come

From now on we’ll be posting frequent updates on anything related to our company using the twitter service. For those who still haven’t heard of it we could say it’s a service where you can post and broadcast short messages (max. 140 chars).

We are going to use it for many things including announcing new features or sharing some ideas with anyone.

We’ve uploaded a big upgrade that boosts the site responsiveness by making everything run faster.

A lot of speed tweaks have been performed by our team, including minifying the total request number needed, compressing all http server output or allowing static content to be cached among many others. All these methods have a positive impact on site’s load time.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you experience problems or if you want to share some feedback with us.

Good news to all our english speaking users!

Thanks to all reporters on the message board

Here we have another request fulfilled!

Now you can mass-delete various transactions at once from the transaction list. Doesn’t matter if you’re browsing some tagged transaction list or if you’ve performed a search, if you are viewing them you can delete them with just one click.

After launching our new version last month many users from all over the world have contribute by sharing their own money saving tips and/or locations. All this community knowledge is tightly integrated on every user’s accounting as shown on the image below:

Everyone can take advantage and start saving easily by reviewing tips from other users and taking part on the generated conversations by commenting them. Relevant tips (those that match the transaction topic) are noticed by showing up a light bulb next to the transaction on a very unobstrusive way.

The same applies to the message board, we’ll display a speech balloon icon next to transaction if there is any thread matching it. If the user has set up his location on the configuration form he’ll also see relevant local tips (locations that could help to save) close to him.

All tips entered are 100% public (though they can be commented only by moneytrackin’ users). You can browse and search them, see all local tips on our saving map and also in google earth.

Currently the best rated tips in english are:

• Saving money on food
• Keep plastic money to a minimum
• and List of low cost airlines. Fly cheap

Another valuable user contribution channel is the new message board. Thanks to the thread How whould you improve Moneytrackin’? (which have now more than 40 answers) we are discovering and fixing new bugs as well as attending new requests and ideas for improve in a direct way.

Finally, we’d like to thank our contributing users and encourage everyone to participate on our community. Share some advice and receive it back from many others! Receiving custom financial advice from thousands of people globally is really cool, isn’t it?

Today we open the official Moneytrackin’ Message board, a place where all our members can meet and discuss about all financial and personal accounting topics.

We’ve created a new thread to inaugurate it: How would you improve moneytrackin? Feel free to write any request on it!
