   Hi all,
   Over the last month I have created a web application that does financial tracking. Now that might not sound so interesting. However, there are a few advantages to what I've programmed.

   First, unlike mint.com you do not need to add in any sensitive data such as bank account or credit card login credentials.

   Second, all the graphs are dynamic and are sharable with the world wide web.

   Third, there is a web api that I built the gui on. Because I programmed the site with an api in mind anyone can build their own gui to utilize the site.

   One quick thing to note: I will be creating more graphs in the future.

   So without further ado, here are my rolling 30 day expenses (Basically these graphs are dynamic images of my wealth, spending, and income over the last 30 days. Since it is dynamic it will update automatically).

   Looks good. Can you share how you developed this (programming language, server stack etc)?

   Sure. I used Postgresql for the database, Java for the application, and Stripes for the GUI.

   For creating and modifying the postgres database I used pgAdmin.
   For programming the application I used Netbeans.
   For setting up the GUI I used Netbeans.

   For a webserver I am using glassfish.
