Personal finance dashboard — from an hour of admin to two minutes
A weekly household finance workflow (manually pulling bank CSVs, splitting and categorising spends across two people, cross-checking shared expenses, reviewing totals against savings goals) was taking about an hour every week and still made it hard to tell at a glance whether spending was on track. Designed and built a dashboard that automates the pull, categorisation, and monthly view.
My role:
Research (mapped the existing manual workflow and pain points), UX design, and AI-assisted build of the dashboard.
Outcome:
Cut the weekly admin task from roughly an hour to about two minutes.
Note on scope:
Personal side project, not a client engagement. Included here as a live example of the kind of workflow-to-dashboard problem I take on for clients (repeat-purchase and admin-heavy flows, see Pet Circle and SafetyCulture project cards).
Project details up on my profile.
This sounds like a game-changer for weekly finances! How did you automate the CSV pulls?
Stay update
Stay is a Framer plugin I'm building for managing property listings on your website. What's new this month:
🗓 Whole-stay date picker. Guests pick check-in and check-out in one calendar and get the exact total for those nights.
💸 LivePrice. A standalone component that shows tonight's nightly rate, updated on each refresh.
⚡ And it got faster. Importing a listing used to take 36 seconds which made live fetching impossible.With some engineering magic now takes about 4.
Cutting import time from 36 seconds to 4 is a huge improvement. Nice work.
Title: Market Action Tracker — Real-Time Multi-Timeframe Breakout & Alert Dashboard
Summary:
A live market monitoring dashboard that tracks 20 forex and commodity pairs across multiple timeframes (3min / 5min / 15min) simultaneously, automatically detecting trend state — consolidating vs. breakout — and firing instant alerts the moment structure shifts.
What it does:
Continuously scans price action across each pair and timeframe in parallel, classifying every pair as consolidating or in an active breakout (bullish/bearish) in real time
Live-updating alert feed logs each breakout the instant it triggers — resistance/support breaks, timestamped to the second
Multi-timeframe view surfaces structure shifts as they cascade from short to longer windows, instead of flipping between charts
Auto-refresh with a visible "MARKET LIVE" status and last-updated timestamp, so there's no ambiguity about data freshness
Notification system surfaces new alerts without needing to babysit the screen
Clean, dark-mode trading-desk UI built for fast scanning — color-coded states (green breakout, orange consolidating, red breakdown) so you can read market posture at a glance
Why it matters:
Manually watching 20 pairs across 3 timeframes for structure breaks doesn't scale — this collapses that into a single glanceable view with alerting doing the watching for you, so you only look up when something's actually happening.
This dashboard sounds like a game-changer for traders—how does it handle false breakout alerts?
