March has been monumental both for NeoBudget and for me personally. I resigned from my day job and am now working on NeoBudget much more consistently. As a result, you will start to see many new features and enhancements around here beginning very soon.

A Bit of History

As many of you may know, NeoBudget started in 2008 as a hobby. Having used many different envelope based budgeting solutions, I just wasn’t pleased with any of them. None of them did budgeting like I thought it should be done: online and simple.

After working on NeoBudget in my spare time for several months, I released it to some close friends. A few months later, I released it to the general public. Since then, I have been maintaining it and keeping it going in my spare time on weekends and evenings. And that worked well for a while.

As time went along, I realized that many other people felt the need for simple envelope budgeting just like me. NeoBudget kept growing, but I found myself limited to maintaining the existing software. I didn’t have time to develop it further and make many enhancements.

My wife and I discussed this dilemma and decided to work toward the goal of making NeoBudget be my full time job. Now, many months later that dream has become a reality. I resigned from my day job and have started working much more consistently on NeoBudget.

More Activity

You will start seeing more activity around here. For starters, this blog will be much more active. You can expect to see tutorials, product announcements, and budgeting tips on a regular basis. So be sure to subscribe!

These changes will also result in a more consistent release cycle. Not only will bugs get fixed quickly like they always have, but new features will be pushed out at least once per month. It is my goal to produce a new release of NeoBudget during the first week of every month. Since April is nearly upon us, you can expect to start seeing some exciting changes around here pretty soon.

I covet your input as I continue to develop NeoBudget and make it even more robust. As always, please feel free to contact NeoBudget support with questions, concerns, and suggestions.
