What I want to see: Google/Live Personal Finance | The Coffeehouse

W-hat?

Since I need a mobile personal finance solution, that's kind of guaranteed to exist for quite some time, and since Google's about covering all bases, here's an idea for them: Implement it.

The only other solution I've run into would be indybudget.com, but since it's no big-co, it's longevity is in question.

If Microsoft would consider implementing something like this: WITHOUT PAGE FILLING ADS, PLZKTHX. You've already ruined Money as it is.

Whoa... good idea there.

Right now there are zero, null, nada, zilch online money-management/finance webapps.

Implement it yourself then sell it to Google, surely that's the better option Smiley

But you'll have to make it good enough so you can use it to manage the millions of $$$ Google gives you for it.

Too much work.

I already considered doing a simple WPF app for finances, but ditched the idea due to usual ADD making me abandon any projects. Something funny like an XBAP tied to a remote SQL store or web service on a SQL store.

Maybe I give it a try when there's a beta of Orcas doing both XAML and LINQ in the same build. The thing I hate the most is all the database stuff, making me write bigass methods.

Maybe not in English, but seeing how I've worked on one, I beg to differ.

Was it a web app for the general public or something for a company?

General public. People and small business can register for a small monthly fee and do their accounting/personal finance online, or have their accountant do it for them. I'm pretty sure there are other similar services out there.
