Are you burning your money?

Recently I've became very spending conscientious. Partially because there are more and more services that adapt subscription based model, and partially because I became more and more aware how much every possible industry giants try to milk their customers as much as possible. I've became quite resentful towards those practices, and recent news about Adobe TOS and anti-consumer practices just pushed that resentment even further.

On top of that I do tend to forget, that there are some subscriptions I subscribed to trial and forgot to cancel. Sometimes I want to just check what are recurring payments that automatically draw from my account, and where I would like to cut costs.

Because of that initially I created a script that will look into my financial raport and recognize those payments automatically.

You can find the source code here: https://github.com/sudo-sein/subscription-finder

However, at the end of the day, I thought that I would go a bit further, and create service that will create such reports via webapp. So, If you guys want to check it out!

If application gain enough traction and interest, I might extend it's functionality.
