*I hate money* is a web application made to ease shared budget

management. It keeps track of who bought what, when, and for whom; and

helps to settle the bills.

The code is distributed under a BSD *beerware* derivative: if you meet

the people in person and you want to pay them a craft beer, you are

highly encouraged to do so.



## Requirements



-   **Python**: version 3.7 to 3.12.

-   **Backends**: SQLite, PostgreSQL, MariaDB (version 10.3.2 or above),

    Memory.



## Current direction (as of 2024)



Ihatemoney was started in 2011, and we believe the project has reached a certain

level of maturity now. The overall energy of contributors is not as high as it

used to be.



In addition, there are now several self-hosted alternatives (for instance

[cospend](https://github.com/julien-nc/cospend-nc/tree/main),

[spliit](https://github.com/spliit-app/spliit)).



As maintainers, we believe that the project is still relevant but should gear

towards some kind of "maintenance mode":



* **Simplicity** is now the main goal of the project. It has always been a compass

for the project, and the resulting software is appreciated by both users and

server administrators. For us, "simplicity" is positive and encompasses both

technical aspects (very few javascript code, manageable dependencies, small code

size...) and user-visible aspects (straightforward interface, no need to create

accounts for people you invite, same web interface on mobile...)



* **Stability** is prioritized over adding major new features. We found ourselves

complexifying the codebase (and the interface) while accepting some

contributions. Our goal now is to have a minimal set of features that do most of

the job. We believe this will help lower the maintainance burden.



* **User interface and user experience improvements** are always super welcome !



It is still possible to propose new features, but they should fit into

this new direction. Simplicity of the UI/UX and simplicity of the technical

implementation will be the main factors when deciding to accept new features.
