Planning a new Finance App, looking for pointers for Features.

Hello, I am planning a new opensource project.

I have been using Firefly-iii for my personal financial needs, but I feel it lacks a few features that I would prefer. And, I dont wish to use multiple apps to get my finances clear. Thus, I feel this would be a good project to work on.

My skills aren't that great, thus it might take some time to build this but i am willing to invest that time.

For now, I intend to incorporate following features:

  • Import data from json and csv files
  • Import data from APIs for current financial prices for stocks and other instruments
  • Budgeting
  • Dashboard to see current Financial net worth, with segmented views
  • Automated tags and categories

Later Stage would include:

  • Projections using local AI
  • Mobile App
    • Import from SMS
    • Dashboard
  • Multiple viewing methods to allow, specific views to be shared.

Looking for ideas regarding:

  • Any other features that I should incorporate in the ver 1 and Later Stages
  • Any specific guidance regarding project relating to the stack that I should use, current I intend to use ReactJS with Typescript and Postgresql
