Hey DEV community! 👋

I wanted to share a small project I’ve been working on using Spring Boot, and I’d love to get your thoughts, feedback, and suggestions.

🛠️ What It Is
It’s a Spring Boot based expense tracker.
Think of it as a personal expense tracker where you can filter the expenses by transaction_type,category and date without authentication and authorisation.

Built with:

Spring Boot (of course!)
MySQL
Java 17

📦 Source Code: https://github.com/Steffi-cloud/Repo1

project name: ExpenseTracker (in the source code repo)

⚙️ Why I Built It
Honestly, I wanted to:

Practice my Spring Boot and REST API skills.

Scratch an itch I had for [problem you're solving].

Learn [something new – e.g how the records can be filtered based on date and the balance can be shown].

It's small but functional, and I figured it’s better to share than keep polishing in silence!

🔍 Key Features
[Feature 1: e.g., “SpringBoot based Expense Tracker”]

[Optional: Roadmap ideas or “what’s coming next”]

🧪 Want to Try It?
You can either:

Spin it up locally (README has setup instructions)

Try the live demo (feedback welcome!)

🙏 What I’m Looking For
I'd love your help with:

Code review suggestions (Java folks, be brutal 😅)

Ideas for improvement or missing features

Thoughts on real-world use cases (is it useful to anyone but me?)

💬 Let’s Chat!
Thanks for reading! If you’ve built something with Spring Boot or are learning it too, I’d love to see your projects.
Drop your thoughts below, or feel free to connect!

Happy coding! 👨‍💻👩‍💻
