Add detailed totals for "received" and "gave". #85

It would be great if you add a dashboard giving more details about the total amount of "received" and "gave" money separately or may be add a graph to visualize the differnce.

I am not sure if I understand what you mean. Considering the following example, what would you like to see:

Person Direction Amount
A gave 100
A received 20
B gave 30
A received 120

Maybe this? Just I'm not sure it would be useful. Person Direction Total Amount
A gave 100
A received 140
B gave 30
B received 0

Considering the first example:

Person | Direction | Amount -- | -- | -- A | gave | 100 A | received | 20 B | gave | 30 A | received | 120

What I meant is a dashboard like this:

Total Gave|Total Received | Difference -- | -- | -- 130 | 140 | 10 (In this case the number should be red) ![Capture](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/8105473/149627000-803ea045-2b73-453e-88e7-7e7561dac0a7.PNG)

Ah ok, I now understand what you want, yet I can not imagine why such a dashboard would be useful. Could you please explain, in which case one would gain a benefit from this?

BuLLHACK commented 2 years ago

I think the whole point of having an app to manage debts is to see more details about what you give and what you receive, having one total based on both isn't helping in my opinion. Let's say you want to settle all your debts with your own money rather than waiting for people to pay you, how are you supposed to know how much to pay?

Ok, thanks for elaborating on this. I will think about if and how I want to implement this.
