This is very slick and well executed. I especially appreciate the thought that went into data transfer (making it opt in, otherwise stays client side). I have a CFA and have been in finance for a while and have maintained a spreadsheet but honestly this does it better so I will use and support you. I wish more people would take a long view with their financial wellness, maybe I can convince a few friends to see the impact of their debt binges :)

On the UI side there are a few odd things like trying to paste a number that has decimal points makes it so nothing gets pasted in, the colors on some of the graphs are hard to read (especially for people with color vision deficiencies), etc. As I use it I will try to give more specific feedback. Can't wait to dig in further.

Much appreciated! And yeah before building this, I was surprised there weren't already more tools that can show you a nuanced view of what the future may hold and the ways various decisions affect that picture... and the complexity of the spreadsheet I had been playing around with eventually became untenable haha. Thanks for the UI feedback so far, and since you've been in finance for a while I'll be very curious to hear more of your thoughts as you dig further into the app.
