Personal finance tracker

I had created one of these previously using Python, but now I want to make another one using Next.js and supabase. This is going to be a personal webapp for my family to track where are expenses are going and help us budget better. The plan is to give a snapshot of our main accounts and track spending to highlight areas where we can improve.

What I'm learning

📖

Kubernetes

I know, I've been building and managing kubernete's clusters for years. But my CKA had expired and I wanted to renew. So I have been studying for the exam. I forgot how hard it is! Like I said this is something I work on every single day and yet I struggled more with the renewal than I did with the original exam. Old dog, new tricks, I guess But I got through it and am once again certifiable...or so they say.
