BadPirate/funey: This is a web app to help kids get a feel for real checking account management, using a fake balance and interest. · GitHub

This is a web app for managing an online "ledger" for your little one. Making money fun (funey? My 5 year old suggested it).

Supports:

• Parent login on a per account basis (so that you can add / subtract money from the ledger)
• View only link for children (so they can see how much money they have)
• Automatic monthly interest calculation (So they can watch their funey grow)
• Automatic weekly allowance calculation
• Mobile device friendly display (Can be added as a home icon so they can view their totals from ipod / iphone / chromebook etc)

You can create your own account and play around at:

https://funey.badpirate.net

Or host it yourself.

This is for tracking a virtual balance, not the storage of actual money and while I've kept funey.badpirate.net up for a number of years (and plan to keep hosting until my kids are in college), I make no guaruntee that something won't happen to hosting or storage, use at your own risk.

You can review the code yourself, but I've intentially left no place to store email addresses or account names, though the transactions themselves are not stored encrypted. If you host yourself I have no access to your data or transactions.

If you choose to use funey.badpirate.net, I will not share the transaction details / descriptions / values with third parties, or try to associate them with accounts or IP addresses. This is mostly a tool for myself that I believe might have value for other parents and so leave open in hopes that it can be a benefit. There will be no commercial or private use of your data.

You'll need to setup a Postgres SQL database to run locally:

1. Setup a new database
2. Upload the default schema into your DB, psql dbname < schema.dump
3. Set PGHOST, PGPORT, PGPASS and DB values in .env.local (and your production env)

First, run the development server:

yarn dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.
