Hey guys,
we have finished designing these - I hope we can push them out by the end of August. 
Any chance we can get some more previews

Will the parent and child categories be user driven or constrained?
Categories can be either parent or sub; the only constraint we have put in place is that the default ones stay as parent, but you can create a parent custom category.
I think the next step for us would be category exclusion so you can remove the default you don’t like.

Would just be good if we could edit the defaults just to rename some of them. I think the defaults should be able to be both sub or parent because id want to convince eating out and groceries into a parent called food then possibly add another sub category for takeaway is how i see using the sub category
Is this still in August timeframe?

We have an engineer working on the backend; we’ll then need to do the frontend. I think first two weeks of September at max.

Just wondering if this is on track still?

Yes - we have a frontend engineer on it; the backend took a fair bit since there are lots of edge cases

Hey guys - just update the app, subcategories are now live. 
Just trying it out, the subcategory seems to overwrite the category in the export? Am I missing something here?
It seems like that that is happening is that the subcategory supercedes the category and that is then “lost”

Also - when in analytics and budgeting - you need to click into each category, to then see the subcategories?
I expected this was going to be visible on the main page…

It would be a big chaotic - don’t you think?
Hi @mrchrisbrogan , thanks for the quick feedback! 
The export issue will be fixed soon! Your export will correctly include a separate subcategory column
Perhaps - but clicking into each category is cumbersome, so I can’t see it being useful.
The export part is where it falls down more to be honest.
Forgive my poor attempt at trying to render how it would look using instragram stories.
But I thought it would simply show something like this.
An option at the top for expanded yes/no or something

Yes, that makes sense - for now, we want with a different design. 
Sure but the design just causes friction. People aren’t going to want to click into say 5-10 categories to then one by one look at the breakdown of subcategories. It’s super cumbersome. You should be able to see it at a glance
is this a bug or feature that sub categories budget dont appear under the parent section. I would think that if it has a parent category it should just be within the parent rather than as a standalone budget.
i would expect transport budget to be the total of the sub categories and the transport item so for me
transport total is £200
- Public transport £145
- Fuel £45
The £10 is unbudgeted but is part of the transport so my overall is still £200 for transport rather than £390. Since me adding budget for the sub categories takes me over my overall budget
