User requests the ability to customize visualizations in the bank export visualizer to better suit personal preferences.
I exported my bank transactions recently and realized how hard those files are to actually read. You basically just get a giant spreadsheet with hundreds or thousands of rows. all the data is technically there, but it’s surprisingly difficult to see patterns just by scrolling through it. So I started experimenting with a small browser page (work in progress) that visualizes a bank export file. you drop in a csv or xlsx export and the page tries to turn it into something easier to understand. Everything runs locally in the browser. there’s no bank login and the file isn’t uploaded anywhere, the data just stays on your computer. Ittries to groups transactions into categories and show things like spending by category, top merchants, monthly income vs spending and recurring payments. the idea is mostly to make raw export files easier to explore visually. Still very much a work in progress. I mainly built it after digging through my own exports and wondering if there was a better way to look at that data. Curious if other people here ever export their bank data and what kinds of patterns or visualizations you’d actually want to see from it.
