A simple way to manage your finances with forecasting. We should automate our money, not make it automate us.

Finances are hard. It's one of the first adulting things everyone has to wrestle with. So, let's make it easy and automate it. Over the course of several years, my wife and I have tracked our finances using a forecasting method and had done it all within a spreadsheet. The time came where I wanted to take this concept and make it mobile using serverless architecture and clean design.
Getting Started
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.
At this stage, probably React with Material Design, but I think we need to build out the backend first. There's a lot of ground work to be had with the build and deploy process, too. Right now, it's only using my AWS credentials, so stuff like that needs to be ironed out as well. So much to do!
Alright, I'll ask for a free trial on AWS Lambda and I'll learn what I have to to help out with the back-end.
And regarding the front-end: Are you thinking of developing a web app, mobile app or both?
In any case, I'm on fire with React and React Native so surely I'll be more helpful when we're on that.
It'd be good if we had a place to communicate and discuss about the project, where can we do it?
I have made it open source! Check it out.
It's really in its infancy, but I'm trying to get it stood up quickly.

Great! I cloned the repository and I'm looking around. What do you wanna use for the front-end?
