Bucketdrop is a simple JavaScript prototype for managing savings.
The idea: split a single savings account into virtual buckets, with deposits automatically distributed into categories based on user-defined percentages.
- Command-line interface (CLI) only
- Define buckets (e.g., Emergency, Travel, Investments)
- Assign percentages for allocation
- Simulate deposits and see how funds are distributed
- Persistent storage using JSON
- Plaid API integration for connecting to real accounts
- Web/desktop interface beyond the CLI MVP
🚧 This project never moved past the CLI MVP phase.
It’s preserved here as a prototype and proof of concept for category-based savings management.
- JavaScript (Node.js) for CLI logic
- JSON for basic data handling and storage
