It’s been an expensive weekend. I bought a new TV - LG OLED C1 - then discovered my current Yamaha 375 receiver was too old to drive it, so had to upgrade to a new Denon AVR-X550BT receiver. Fortunately, I’d been saving money for a long time in a YNAB category!

@canion Doesn’t that feel good? I love knowing that past me planned ahead for this possible scenario and that the money is there in YNAB.

@agilelisa Past-me is a hero right now. Great to discover you as another YNABer too!

@canion Yay, more YNABers! Been using it for nigh ten years now.

@AngeloStavrow I started with it on v4 I think. When it was a desktop app.

@canion Yes! I recall v4 being the last upgrade before they went with the web app. I wasn’t thrilled about it at the time, but frankly I’m fine with it now, so many years later.

The iOS app has come a long way!

@AngeloStavrow I loved the simplicity and style of the native app. Overall though the move to a web app has been a good one.

@canion Agreed, though I must say that there are two things that I still miss, all these years later: being able to CMD+TAB between the app and bank info in the browser (I don’t use the auto-import), and the keyboard shortcuts.

Otherwise, I agree that the web app is great!

@AngeloStavrow I don’t use auto import either. No support for Aussie banks. Totally agree about cmd-tab - I sometimes use two different browsers so I still can!

@AngeloStavrow That is exactly the reason that I run YNAB in Unite (https://www.bzgapps.com/unite)

@AngeloStavrow Writing a whole new app just to be able to switch faster to other apps seems a little overkill to me 🤷

@jeroensangers Absolutely, but that's never stopped me before 😅
