Anyway, I am doing it for learning purposes. Thanks for the feedback;)

Yes, I checked it but it is not support functionality that I described or I missed something?

I am doing it first of all to learn new technology and language but the second reason is that from time to time I want to have it instead of opening postman or write cURL or open swagger each time to make a request.
Please share your opinion about my idea.

4. The Apple statistic says that we have 120 downloads (it is less than in Firebase because some of the users that Firebase shows are testers from the Apple side and they download the app from TestFlight and not AppStore).

3. The Grafana dashboard: every 24 hours: ~22 users registered, ~1 user deleted account, ~70 transactions added (the main action in our app, adding spending or income).

2. Average engagement time is 2 min. I think that is quite normal for our app category. We plan to add some push notifications (not annoying and manageable for users) and hope it will increase at least returning users.

Please, share your experience with low-budget projects!

P.S. I want to share also a 4-days (since prod release) statistic from Firebase and our dashboard in Grafana (Both services are free and fit our needs perfectly. I recommend using it).

I was surprised but even without advertising, your application is still downloaded by 5 - 10 random people per day from all over the world, and these are real people, they use the application, which still surprises me - who are they and how do they find our application?

We decided to call it MoneyBee to have a possibility to add gamification with the bee mascot. Then we understood that GPT agents and GPT itself are bad tool for generating logos. Better to give it for freelancing. But we had no budget and we decided to leave GPT generated logo.

We decided to make a budget tracker, the idea was to bring the best of the applications that we use ourselves and discard everything unnecessary.

The desire was to do something simple in order to quickly test some new technologies, plus independently bring it to sale without much investment. The plan was to complete it in a month or a month and a half, as a result, since in our own project we never missed an estimate :D
