Max categories, sub-categories?

[tleunen]

Is there any reason why there's a hard limit with 24 categories max?

I like splitting my expenses in more categories than fewer, especially around the Home expense (mortgage, home maintenance, home essentials, ...), or the car (car maintenance, gas, ...) to have a better idea how much is spent there.

In the end, I think a system of sub-categories could be nice for that though. Having a Home category with sub categories to better describe some of these expenses. But I also know it's harder to implement in general.

Any thoughts, any reason to the 24 limit, and where you'd see this going?

Hey @tleunen,

The limit is capped at 24 for now as the horizontal bar graph wouldn't make sense if each segment is really really small. Am looking into how I can add sub-categories as well as adopt different visualisations!

+1 for sub-categories. A really important feature for me personally.

Another comment here as I'm missing this feature every day ;). I would recommend copying with pride from the bears note app. Having a schema like: #categorie/subcategorie/subsubcategorie etc.

This makes categorizing in bear a breeze and is the main reason I pay for that app. It would be awesome to have the same functionality here. Btw: I also don't mind autocompletion of categories if there would be a text field. That's often faster than swiping through a list and selecting.

Would love more categories :)
