It’s obviously Tiller’s prerogative to have their own philosophy, but I just think this is silly.
I love being able to make my own categories and have flexibility over how things are categorized, but if 10/10 times I categorize a transaction that looks like X to be “Food”, there is absolutely no need to make me set up a rule to do that, or manually do it every time. Computers are pretty smart. (See Tiller AI AutoCat).
Let me review the 1% that are new/confusing, or correct special cases (this shopping purchase was really a gift or whatever) but don’t make me do the work to do it 99% of the time.
In my humble opinion the main thing getting in the way of Tiller being used by 10X more people is the out of the box experience to just get started and get something useful is pretty painful. Lots of set up for rules, minimal default reporting that just makes your data come to life, etc.
I’m a big believer in the potential here (otherwise I wouldn’t have invested 100s of hours over the last month in building stuff for free for this community) but I think this philosophy is counterproductive for usage & growth.
