Announcing Mojito 1.0.0 ! Finally. Finally! After many months of development, testing, documentation writing ... and many long, late nights, I am ready to announce the release of Mojito 1.0.0! The functionality I have added to this release is a big jump from version 0.9.1. I even considered calling it version 2.0 instead of 1.0; but it seemed weird to never have a 1.0 release, so version 1.0 it is. Whats new in 1.0.0? - You can edit transactions and save the changes to Mint! And, for me, editing transactions in a spreadsheet is so much faster than doing it through the Mint web interface or mobile app. - You can create, edit, and remove split items. - You can clear transactions; i.e. acknowledge that transactions are valid shortly after they occur (usually a couple of days). - You can reconcile accounts with your statements. - You can create savings goals that are actually useful (not the severely limited ones that Mint provides) - You can specify budget amounts with any frequency period (e.g. monthly, weekly, quarterly, yearly, or custom). See the full list here: b3devs.blogspot/p/about-mojito.html When I started working on this new release 6 months ago, my goal was simple. I wanted to implement the key features I needed so that I could stop using Quicken by the end of the year. I am happy to report that I achieved that goal! I stopped using Quicken in November 2013. Mojito obviously doesnt do everything Quicken does. Not even close. But Mojito helps me keep track of the nuts-and-bolts stuff -- transaction clearing and reconciling, flexible budgets, savings goals, split items -- and Mint helps me keep an eye on the big-picture stuff -- with the trend charts and investment charts. Yes, I have had to break some of my Quicken habits, but having used Mojito and Mint together for the past three months, I have been able to manage my finances just fine and I am spending less time doing it. And having all of the data in a spreadsheet is really handy when I want to create a new sheet and run a few what-if scenarios on my finances. Anyway, I hope you find Mojito useful. As always, post any questions you may have to the More Q&A page on my blog (b3devs.blogspot/p/more-qna-10x.html). Cheers, -b3
