Backend

[simo498]

Is the app going to run totally on the smartphone or do we have some plans to implement a server-side module (backend). It might be useful in keeping data on servers instead of locally, automatically add transactions done by cards and possibly sending notification when maximum caps are reached (I don't actually know if we can manage to reach the same purpose by only using the client, in particular iOS, whose background is non existent and thus it can't easily carry out task in the background

A core concept of the project is that the app should work offline. We have plans to add some online -optional- features like backups, portfolio tracking, and stuff like that, but at the moment there's no structure for a backend service.

What about the webapp, how should it work then?

Web app is not aupported right now, mainly because is not compatible with our database engine.
Ours are not "diktats" however. Db engine can (and I think that actually should) change, key concepts can change in the future also, while the community grows. We're just trying to build something great together!
