Recurring expenses

[whatisthisidont]

hi! really loving and appreciating this project. i was wondering whether recurring expenses are a feature that you'd consider adding. with that, transitioning from splitwise would be a no-brainer, for me and i'm assuming for others. thanks so much

Hi @whatisthisidont, yes that would be an interesting feature, just need to think about how it could work.

Creation flow:

• I create an expense and select a recurrence, e.g. Monthly
• A month later, a new expense is created by duplicating the original one

Deletion flow:

• If a user deletes a recurring expense, ask them if they want to just skip one occurrence, or cancel the whole recurring expense.

Edition flow:

• If a user edits a recurring expense, it doesn’t update the next occurrences? (Not sure about this one…)

You could mirror it off of like Outlook recurring meetings. If you attempt to update or delete a future meetings, it gives a prompt for all/future/individual essentially. For the initial release, I think defaulting to editing/deleting a recurring expense could apply to all future expenses only.

Hi @scastiel Can we please merge this PR? Or is there any issue with this PR? This resolves the recurring expenses feature.
