Actual Nickelpinch news!

Link first, to the project on github.

So, I spent time this weekend working a little on Nickelpinch. Saturday, I haunted the Lafayette Library's halls and coded away, and have a pretty good finished product for what the new database structure will be like. See the model in PDF.

Then last night and today I worked with jQuery Mobile to start on the mockups of the new interface, optimized for mobile/tablets.

1. Start here
2. The starting page. click login at the top left
3. The login page! just click submit
4. The overview page. You are viewing a users info, they have four categories (rent, food, fun, utilities) Click on any to open the details of the category. It will show the Reserve (how much they've allocated to that category), Tally (how much they've spent so far this month in that category), and Limit (The limit of how much they want to spend on that category). The color coding should be mostly self-explanatory. Then click add, on the bottom left
5. The Add Entry page. It's where you'll be able to add a new purchase. I believe it's pretty user friendly, though it needs a date picker.
6. End of tour

Holy moly is it cool!

I'm totally wiped right now, otherwise I'd write more.
